Description of problem: Ekiga not pulseaudio compatible Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ekiga-3.2.6-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Install or upgrade to Fedora 12. Install ekiga. Get inbound call. See message about inability to open soundcard. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Actual results: Inability to use soundcard Expected results: Working situation w.r.t. soundcards Additional info: This makes Ekiga unusable. 100% fail.
ekiga works fine using alsa pulseaudio support. There is native support planned for the next release.
Sure, but it doesn't work for me. Ekiga sees call, is set for default soundcards, accepts call and task hangs (100% cpu, ekiga responds badly, does not pick up call after instructed to do so). So what is wrong? Stock alsa config...
The previous comment is 100% reproducible. Any workarounds?
I do get the sip.xs4all.nl voicemail saying that the user I am calling (myself) is unreachable after this happens.
Its a known issue from upstream. It needs to be fixed upstream. There are tickets tracking it but the progress isn't fast. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 551123 ***
Are you VERY sure that a hanging ekiga is the same as (whatever) bug you think was mentioning this before? In my issue the CPU usage ONLY starts when a call is received. NONE of that is mentioned in teh bug you refer to. Even if these bugs are present and progress is slow, Fedora does nothing. It ships. It does not fix, nor uses alternatives that work nor warn users about issues.
