[GnomeMeeting-list] Microphone input fails

[Andy Fraser <andy FraserPhysics com>]

I'm trying to get gnomemeeting 0.93.0 working on a debian woody
distribution.  My friend John is in the same room using redhat and
gnomemeeting 0.85.1.  John and I can connect, and I can hear him, but
he cannot hear me.

I suspect that I have a problem with esd because when John and I
connect the history in gnomemeeting reports in part "17:02:21 Could
not suspend ESD".

Also, after I quit gnomemeeting and try to run esd, it fails with a
long report that ends with:

  Couldn't open any alsa card! Last card tried was 0
  Error opening card 0: Sound protocol is not compatible
  Sound device inadequate for Esound. Fatal.

ALSA sound is working.  I can record a file with

   arecord -v -d 5 -r 8000  test.wav

and then play it back with

   aplay -v test.wav

I would appreciate advice.

============================================================

Here are some configuration details:

Distribution: Debian woody (stable) with gnomemeeting and dependencies from
              debian sarge (unstable).
