Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Microphone input fails

[Andy Fraser <andy FraserPhysics com>]

Thanks for the pointers.  I'm still having trouble getting
gnomemeeting working.  I verified oss compatibility using

  andy:~/tmp>rawrec -d /dev/dsp0 -f s16_le -s 8000 -t 5 test.raw
  andy:~/tmp>rawplay -d /dev/dsp0 -f s16_le -s 8000 test.raw

and got an audio connection working once with a remote friend.

But, gnomemeeting crashed as I used the "view" menu to try to get both
remote and local video displayed, and after that, I could not send
audio anymore.  I restarted alsa and rechecked oss compatibility using
rawrec and rawplay again, but I could not sent audio.

I enabled XDAP registration and attempted a connection with a
stranger.  I tried to speak and to type to him.  He typed to inform me
that he received video but no audio and no text.  I received only text
from him.

I got the following errors (not all at once) in the terminal window
from which I launched gnomemeeting:

======================================================================
mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding

Thanks for any additional advice.
