That is what I expected...

Yes, but as I explained, the configuration druid audio test in 0.98.5
was not a real full-duplex test, so if your driver is problematic with
full-duplex, the problem might only appear with CVS.

Or a driver problem...

GM 0.98.5 doesn't use real full-duplex except for calls. Other programs
do not use full-duplex at all.

Yes, but again, the audio test in teh druid of 0.98.5 is not using
full-duplex.

What is the exact error message as reported by GnomeMeeting?
What is the name of the OSS driver you are using?
