Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ekiga
bug observed in ekiga in hardy
Ekiga takes control of the camera even when it is not using it. Since it
is an application that will typically be left to run all the time the
computer is on, this means that the camera is not available to any other
application during all that time. Thus, for instance, it is impossible
to run Skype and Ekiga at the same time if you want to use both of them
for video chat. For some people at least, this will mean being forced to
stick with Skype even though they may want to migrate gradually to
something else.
Skype, on the other hand, only takes control of the camera when a video
call is taking place. This is how Ekiga should do it.
