Description

Some additional notes: In an out-of-the-box installation, ekiga is locked to ALSA and has no sound. OSS cannot be enabled because pwlib is built --without-oss. This is a coordination fault in the distro. Enabling OSS in pwlib doesn't seem to break anything (at first glance) and allows ekiga to work while leaving the system in its default sound system configuration. Thus, there appears to be no reason for disabling OSS in pwlib. Created attachment 314966 [details]
Fix
Sounds reasonable, though I wonder how to reproduce testing, people certainly had sound enable with just ALSA, just that for some reason ALSA didn't gave you any sound. Can you elaborate ? Daniel This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?". I have actually filed two different issues as one single bug, which isn't very good. The building problem (limits.h) is one issue, enabling OSS is another. Perhaps they should be split into two separate bugs, also because the dependency problem is a bug that can and should be fixed now, while enabling OSS is more like a feature request which can wait for a future release. In reply to comment #3: I'm not sure why OSS is used by default instead of ALSA on my machine; perhaps because of the sound card on this specific box (a Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo V5505). You should be able to reproduce the situation on any machine though by just disabling ALSA and then trying to run ekiga. This bug/component is not included in scope for RHEL-5.11.0 which is the last RHEL5 minor release. This Bugzilla will soon be CLOSED as WONTFIX (at the end of RHEL5.11 development phase (Apr 22, 2014)). Please contact your account manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug. Thank you for submitting this request for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. We've carefully evaluated the request, but are unable to include it in RHEL5 stream. If the issue is critical for your business, please provide additional business justification through the appropriate support channels (https://access.redhat.com/site/support). The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days |
