[GnomeMeeting-list] [PATCH] No audio feedback in 0.98 config druid!!!

[Chris Rankin <rankincj yahoo com>]

Hi,

This patch will prevent further damage to my hearing. I have a SB Live! card 
using OSS emulation under ALSA (no native ALSA support in gnomemeeting?) with 
carefully adjusted mixer settings and I do NOT want the druid to just whack the 
microphone up to 100 because this produces *atrocious feedback*!!!

Interestingly, according to the ALSA mixer, I don't need the microphone unmuted 
at all (although I need one connected, of course!) and the important setting is 
the AC97 Capture. The OSS mixer interface is a bit of a blunt instrument here.

I am now going to somewhere nice and quiet to recover. Like an airport runway.
Cheers,
Chris
