[GnomeMeeting-list] Serious sound problems under Intel-i810 (Alsa and OSS)

[Jean-Michel POURE <jm poure freesurf fr>]

Dear all,

Thanks for this wonderful contribution to the free world. I am trying to use 
Gnomemeeting on an Asus 3800 laptop based on Intel-i810 chipset. My webcam is 
a Philips PCVC680K. I tried two different configurations :

1) OSS sound for both devices

/etc/modules.conf
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 
2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| :

alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias char-major-81  pwc
alias sound-slot-1 audio
post-install sound-slot-1 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 
2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-1 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| :

Gnomemeeting :
/dev/dsp
/dev/mix
/dev/dsp1
/dev/mix1

My correspondant can hear me but I cannot hear him. I can play and record 
music using "play" and "record" commands. xmms can also play music with OSS 
plug-in.

2) pwc OOS sound + intel-i810 Alsa OSS emulation.

/etc/modules.conf
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# Première carte
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-2 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

#post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 
2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| :

# Carte usb
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias char-major-81  pwc
alias sound-slot-1 audio
post-install sound-slot-1 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 
2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-1 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| ::
Only the pure OSS sound devices work.

My correspondant can hear me but I cannot hear him. xmms can also play music 
with Alsa plug-in.

Maybe it is a simple problem, but I cannot solve it. Any idea that would help 
me? 

Should I upgrade the kernel to 2.5beta to get better Intel-i810 support? I 
read that the next Gnomemeeting release was scheduled for next Monday. Should 
I wait for it?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
