Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Ekiga and KDE arts

[Yannick-GNU/Linux <sevmek free fr>]

Hi,

Hum... I'm not sure about anything here...
My guess is this is a Dmix bug in ALSA. Maybe having gdb output when ekiga crash will show where the problem is (in libasound ?).

As a (bad) workaround, can you try to increase values in the .asoundrc of period_size and buffer_size ? (using ALSA, not arts, and DEFAULT in ekiga settings)

As an exemple, can you try 8192 for period_size and 16384 for buffer_size. (2 occurences of each in the exemple file i provided in the wiki.ekiga.net) Problem is this should induce more latency.

The other way, is to try last CVS of ALSA, as they claim to have fixed a bug in the dmix system wich gives same symptoms as yours. But this was reported for ALSA 1.0.11, not your version...

Exept that, i don't know what to do... but i'm not a dev, so you may get better help from other people here.

Regards,
Yannick
