OK, that did the trick.
(I actually used 0.98.5 before, but noticed other problems with
calling into a firewall, so didn't want to go back there.)

Anyway, disconnecting works OK now with 0.98.5, thanks.

I am using ALSA already, and I did (using 0.96) check that
right after the call (when `foko' was in this strange state),
I could (on foko) start "wavp file.wav", and the file.wav would
play. So it looks like it wasn't the sounddrivers. But well, doesn't
matter now.

Thanks,
