Package: asterisk Version: 1:1.0.5-1 Severity: normal chan_alsa.so hogs the soundcard. This is quite normal for an application but not sociable for a daemon. If the alsa module will be used it's likely that the user might want to use other sound software as well.
I recommend opening the soundcard when the channel is opened, and closing it when the channel is closed, instead of keeping the soundcard open the entire time asterisk is running. If it can't open input or output for whatever reason it should issue a warning and continue with whatever capablities are left. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 Versions of packages asterisk depends on: ii asterisk-config 1:1.0.5-1 config files for asterisk ii asterisk-sounds-main 1:1.0.2-2 Sound files for asterisk ii libasound2 1.0.6-2 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libedit2 2.9.cvs.20040827-1 BSD editline and history libraries ii libgsm1 1.0.10-13 Shared libraries for GSM speech co ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpq3 7.4.6-2 Shared library libpq.so.3 for Post ii libpri1 1.0.2-1 Primary Rate ISDN specification li ii libspeex1 1.0.rel.4-1 The Speex Speech Codec ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7d-5 SSL shared libraries ii libtonezone1 1:1.0.0-2 tonezone library (runtime) ii unixodbc 2.2.4-11 ODBC tools libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-1 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
