Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Sound problems with 0.94

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

The only thing that I can add to Stefan description is that you have to
make sure that you are using  ALSA. I have the same soundcard as you,
and OSS is not able to make it work correctly in full-duplex mode as
required by GnomeMeeting.
