Thanks, that worked.  Gnomemeeting seems to work perfectly.

The rest of this doesn't have much to do with Gnomemeeting.  Mostly
about audio.

As for 2.4.18+ having ALSA, I recall reading that somewhere.  That, plus
seeing in the 2.4.22 kernel sound configuration an option called "OSS
modules" at the bottom of a list of specific audio hardware had me
thinking that if it wasn't inside the "OSS modules" sub menu, it wasn't
OSS and therefore must be something else.  The only something else I
know of is ALSA, and that only from trying to use Gnomemeeting.  So, ok,
2.4.x does not have ALSA.

After Gnomemeeting worked, tried in place of Gnomemeeting a VMware
virtual machine running Windows 2000, with NetMeeting running in that.
That didn't work very well.  As long as NetMeeting was not running,
sound in Windows was ok.  With Netmeeting running but not connected, the
sound quality was terrible.  Lot of static.  Be interesting to see how
Winamp does.  And would be interesting to put Linux in the virtual
machine and see how Gnomemeeting performs in there.  If anyone cares,
I'll report on that.  Otherwise, bye for now!
