And where obviously my opinion isn't worth a bucket of warm spit. But IMO, when ALL major VoIP programs have trouble with full duplex, its a bug. But I'm told to take my problems to the alsa list when I ask on the fedora list. The alsa list claims its the apps, but the alsa performance is so poor that even the most recent VoIP release, twinkle, only 3 weeks old, is STILL USING OSS BECAUSE APPARENTLY those who subscribe to oss, DO have working systems. Does that not tell the alsa people anything? Its a classic case of the he said/she said pissing match. Maybe TPTB ought to have themselves a game of rock, paper, scissors, with the loser finally admitting there is a problem? I'd build and install 1.0.11 from the tarballs, but after it took me a year to get all the major bugs squished in FC2 by doing that, then I find that while my home FC2 system works very well indeed, the whole world says its hopelessly broken when I do ask about howto do something new on it. You cannot, IMO, have your cake and eat it too. If a package manager is to be used, and its dependency rules adhered to, then as far as I'm concerned, those glaring problems found by the users of certain chipsets can damned well be fixed by the packagers IF the code to do so exists in the upstream tarballs. However, finding out this information seems to require the employment of a good private detective agency or something equally unappetizing. Or maybe I'm just tired, its now about 60 days of trying to make both this and NM work on a laptop I bought to get me away from the outrageous telephone costs of trying to get a job done just because its located in the upper peninsula of Michigan. FWIW, skype AND the network both work rather well when this box is booted to XP, so it CAN BE DONE. Unforch, windows gives me a rash I haven't found a skin cream to fix. -- Cheers, Gene _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
