Yes - that would help.

What would also help is support for falling back - it use /dev/phone0 is
available else fall back to /dev/dsp0.

I guess I don't need them unchecked - I can connect OK.

The problem with using voipblasters is that using one you cannot connect

fact that is not completely correct - you can connect - you just can't
talk! :)
