[GnomeMeeting-list] Gnomemeeting to netmeeting choppy audio/video.

[jo de baer <jdebaer novell com>]

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a netmeeting - gnomemeeting connection (Netmeeting to 
netmeeting works fine).

Problem is that netmeeting person hears my audio choppy almost all the time, 
likewise for the video. I hear and see her fine. The connection is also lost 
quite often (recall needed). So the problem seems to be totally on my side.

I must say even without a connection, gnomemeeting starts showing local video 
very choppy at regular times. Stracing it, the poll() call just takes way 
more time app. from two minutes afer launching GM. Can it be that this is 
related to the choppy audio?

Technical info about my machine :

Dell D800 with Intel 82801 DB-ICH4 audio. Webcam is new model Quickcam 
Logitech express (bad buy I guess), so I am using the 
spca5xx-20050701 driver for that.

Linux version is SuSE 9.3, so kernel 2.6.11.etc .

Rpms : openh323-1.15.2-3, gnomemeeting-1.2.1-4.

Thanks for any help with this :-)

Jo

PS: what is strange is that while testing the setup with the 2 computer 
cross-connected, I also had choppiness in the audio sent to the netmeeting 
when netmeeting send a large image to me. Making netmeeting send a small 
video capture to gnomemeeting improved the audio sent from gnomemeeting to 
netmeeting. Did the large video cause CPU load on the gnomemeeting machine?
But right now the problem is also there with a smaller image :-/
