[GnomeMeeting-list] Sound Problem, Suse 8.1 with Alsa, Laptop and so on

Hi guys...

Sorry to "bother" you with a sound problem again. I know, there has been 
a lot of posts concering sound, but i couldnt solve my problem by 
reading them through. That did help me.

Alright, my problem:

gnomemeeting 0.96.1 from the gnomemeeting download section for suse 8.1
Suse 8.1
KDE 3.1
Alsa: 0.9.0 (rpm from the suse ftp server)
% rcalsasound start
% Starting sound driver:  already running                           done

when i come to the sound section in the wizard, i can only select 
dev/dsp0, there is no list (like mentioned in one of the posts)

cat /dev/dsp > /dev/dsp
cat: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
linux:~ # cat /dev/dsp0 > /dev/dsp0
cat: /dev/dsp0: Device or resource busy

The recording tick in the mixer is on mic, so that should be alright either.

When i had the sound driver on automatic and Full Duplex ticked (Suse 
Control Center) i could hear my friend (netmeeting + codec from the 
download section) but he couldnt here me. I can hear myself via the 
speakers.

cheers for any advice...(btw, i am a neewbie in linux, please consider 
that ;-))
