Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] gnome 2.10 audio problem

[Max <maxter email it>]

thank Damian.. but...
i can see that my english is really bad ;-)

i will try to explain again
under gnome 2.10 alsa works great.
i can use alsa with totem-xine and all the other audio applications 
installed with gnome 2.10 (rhytmbox ecc.)
if i open the mixer control i can switch between alsa and oss mixer.

i think that all the necessary modules are loaded, here a dump of  lsmod 
| grep snd:

snd_usb_audio          67392  0
snd_usb_lib            13088  1 snd_usb_audio
snd_rawmidi            24032  1 snd_usb_lib
snd_seq_device          8652  1 snd_rawmidi
snd_intel8x0           33216  2
snd_ac97_codec         78360  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss            53344  1
snd_mixer_oss          19872  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                92712  4 
snd_usb_audio,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              24644  1 snd_pcm
snd                    55300  11 
snd_usb_audio,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               9664  2 snd
snd_page_alloc         10020  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
usbcore               120312  7 
snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,pwc,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

this is the output of  'amixer -c 1' (card 1 is the usb input sound device)

Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joined
 Capture channels: Mono
 Limits: Capture 0 - 3
 Mono: Capture 3 [100%] [on]

this the output of 'cat /proc/asound/cards'
0 [ICH5           ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5
                    Intel ICH5 with AD1981B at 0xc0000c00, irq 209
1 [U0x4710x310    ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x471:0x310
                    USB Device 0x471:0x310 at usb-0000:00:1d.1-1, full 
speed


but gnomemeeting can't see the alsa devices... in the wizard it only 
shows 'oss' and 'quicknet' as audio system
so i think that is a gnomemeeting configuration problem.
i cannot try to 'apt-get remove --purge gnomemeeting' and reinstall: 
there is a dipendency problem that would remove completly gnome.

and.. i will be very happy to use ubuntu, but hoary have serious 
problems on my pc and freeze completly when i try to write large file on 
my external usb disk ;-(

i hope this time to be more clear and intelligible
if theser is something alsa that i must investigate, lat me know ;-)

many thanks again

Max
