Strace of aplay attempting to use plughw:1
Aha, I'll check it. Thanks for the report. It isn't a bug in ALSA. All applications should use the "default" sound device, not plughw. moved to ekiga. I don't really understand. If you use the Ekiga configuration druid, after having selected Alsa as the audio manager (page 6/10), in the next page you can select, either the "default" or the individual cards to use for audio input and output device. So the fact of not using "default" is probably due to the device having been manually selected at some point, and can be trivially fixed by rerunning the druid (menu Edit > Configuration Druid), so I don't understand the problem. If you still think there is a problem with Ekiga internals and not about the specific configuration, please report this upstream: - bugzilla.gnome.org, module Ekiga There is an ekiga developper mailing-list too http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list For me this work, I can pick either the default as configured at the Alsa level or the individual cards if I need to override. Daniel The problem is that Ekiga addresses individual devices as "plughw:0", "plughw:1", etc. when you select them from the drop-down list. It should be using "default:0", "default:1", etc. Unfortunately, even though the ALSA people agree with me, the upstream Ekiga developers are convinced that what they are doing is correct, so there's a bit of a stalemate situation. :( Hum, okay. Honnestly I don't think it's worth trying to patch ekiga in our release, I don't feel like it's a good place to raise/fix problem with upstream decisions. So I'm tempted to close as WONTFIX, opinion ? Daniel Ok. Close it as WONTFIX for now. If I get time (seems unlikely in the near future :( ) I will look at the latest Ekiga code and see if it's still doing the same thing - if so I'll poke some people upstream. I understand Ekiga is going to be getting some major reworking done for the next release anyway. Thanks. Yeah 3.0 will have an awful lot of changes. Best will be to check again with Damien when back from vacations, thanks, Daniel |
