Then we have the proof that it can work.

It is probably a coincidence. However, if you can reproduce the bug...

a relocation error can be produced if you run gnomemeeting with a
different version of a library than the one it was compiled for.
What is your distribution? Debian it seems...

However, I got mails and reports from several persons having problems,
freezes and crashes due to the recently added ARTSD suspend code.
It seems that it doesn't work for everybody.  I have no idea why, but
that code will be removed in 0.94. 

However, the relocation error is probably an indication of the crash,
but not the explanation of your sound problems.

Please go in #gnomemeeting on irc.gnome.org for interactive help and
testing.
