Ok, Damien. Here is my situation:

First of all, I never had to compile any of the pwlib, openh323 libs
anf gm because I was using mdk package. Everything was perfect with
gm except with netmeeting user (I couldn't see there video, sound was
good. And you told me that it was a known bug for certain people and
newer pwlibs fix that). So, here is what was working for me:

gnomemeeting-0.93-3mdk
openh323_1-1.9.3-2mdk
pwlib1-1.3.3-2mdk

Mt sound card is an builtin Intel ICH i820 on my MSI mobo using a
commercial oss driver (because kernel oss and alsa driver had problem
to make my sound card full-duplex)

cat /dev/sndstat:
Card config:
Intel ICH AC97 audio controller at 0xdc00 irq 11
MPU-401 (UART) at 0x330 irq 7

Audio devices:
0: Intel ICH2 (2445) (DUPLEX)
1: Intel ICH2 (2445) (playback only) (DUPLEX)
2: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #0 (GRC2)
3: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #1 (GRC2)
4: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #2 (GRC2)
5: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #3 (GRC2)

Synth devices:
0: OSS Virtual Synth v2.5

Midi devices:
0: MPU-401 (UART)

Timers:
0: System clock
1: SoftOSS

Mixers:
0: Intel ICH2 (2445) (AD1881A)
1: SoftOSS


To resolve my receiving video problem from netmeeting user,
sorry, not all of my friends are Linux "freeks" like us ;-) ,
as you suggest, I download and compile the lastest pwlib,
openh323 and gm. Here are the version:

pwlib: 1.3.9 beta
openh323: 1.9.9 beta
gm: 0.94 beta

And, since then, when I run gm 0.94 with those new libs, gm can't detect
/dev/dsp0 (I'm using the mic (rec) from my sound card). I still can
use gm-0.93 (I made a little dummy script to go back to working package).

About devfs:
Yes, I'm using devfsd. It was installed with mdk-8.2 but I'm not very
familar with devfsd and it didn't seem to mount ant of the sound device.
Here is my /etc/fstab:

/dev/hdc6 / ext3 defaults 1 1

none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Device busy ?:
I don't have any sign of device busy in /var/log/messages and remember 
that it is working with gm-0.93

Same problem running it as roor as well.

Thanks again for your time folks, I'm willing to recompile
new pwlib, openh323 and gm to test any new fix. Hope those
info will help to fix the problem.
