It is possible, but if it is the case, then it is a bug in pulseaudio. > What is even more strange is that the same does not happen during a call. > There, the stream in the volume control is stable and the audio is much > better. > > Does anybody know if there is a difference in the way a wav and the call > audio are played? The sound events are played the same way, but the audio stream is using a constant stream until you disconnect the call. Sometimes, the ring is provided by the server, not by Ekiga. In that case, it is also a constant stream. I think you should report a bug to pulseaudio about this. Yes, we need to implement yet another audio backend (namely pulseaudio), but they provide a compatibility layer that should work with Ekiga. In this case, it does not. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\ Ekiga Softphone : http://www.ekiga.org/ v_/_ Be IP : http://www.beip.be/ FOSDEM : http://www.fosdem.org/ SIP Phone : sip:[email protected] _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
