I am using alsa-1.0.11 which seems to work better than the modules in the kernel. I don't think 
arts is a problem because it can be set to release /dev/dsp after a period of inactivity: mine is
set to 5 seconds and allows ekiga to use alsa (sound is totally incomprehensible but it does work).
As for the firewall, I turned it off and it made no difference when I called 500 ekiga net: ekiga 
won't clean up and must be killed.

Running "ekiga -d 6" gives when connecting: 
2006/05/29 15:30:14.132   1:33.771          SIP Handler:863a730 GMPCSSEndpoint       PCSS connection established
2006/05/29 15:30:14.133   1:33.772          SIP Handler:863a730 GMManager   Will establish the connection
2006/05/29 15:30:14.165   1:33.805          SIP Handler:863a730 GMManager   Will establish the connection

and when I click disconnect:
2006/05/29 15:30:47.643   2:07.283            OnRelease:860e558 GMPCSSEndpoint       PCSS connection released
2006/05/29 15:30:47.644   2:07.283            OnRelease:860e558 GMManager   Will release the connection

and then nothing.

Cheers...
