Trying to get more stable SIP authentifications and/or support for my UVC based 
webcam, I've recently installed gcc-4.4 from Debian testing (4.3.2 didn't 
compile it), and compiled ptlib-2.6.2.tar.bz2, opal-3.6.2.tar.bz2, and first 
tried ekiga-3.2.4.tar.gz but then went with the git "gnome-2-26" branch 
(because of a compiler error fixed there). This compiled without problems, but 
the resulting Ekiga would frequently give no sound output when connecting to 
echo services.

I call sip:[email protected], but it seems ekiga.net prohibits too frequent usage 
of the echo test(?). When re-calling too soon, Ekiga turns the contents of the 
URL entry field into "pc:udp$ekiga.net:5060" and will never get to show the 
"Connected .. call duration.." message.

But, there is also a problem with sound not playing in many cases where I *do* 
have a "Connected .. call duration.." message on the screen. The problem does 
not go away even when waiting between calls (like a minute or so).

A sequence of connection initiations by me:

sip:[email protected] -> normal with sound
sip:[email protected] -> stays in pc:udp$ekiga.net:5060, i.e. does not get 
connection, I click stop
sip:[email protected] -> silent, I click stop
sip:[email protected] -> normal with sound

or with only using the diamondcard echo service:

sip:[email protected] -> normal
sip:[email protected] -> silent
sip:[email protected] -> normal
sip:[email protected] -> silent
sip:[email protected] -> silent
sip:[email protected] -> silent


But sound problems don't stop here, when I call my Diamondcard number using my 
mobile, Ekiga will pop up messages (one for each suppressed ring tone or so) 
even before I try to click on "accept", saying

    "Error while opening audio output device HDA Intel

    No incoming sound will be played.

    The selected audio device was successfully opened but it is impossible to 
write data to this device. In case it is a pluggable device it may be 
sufficient to reconnect it. If not, or if it still is not accessible, please 
check your audio setup.
    "

but in preferences I've set all three audio devices to "HDA Intel 
(PTLIB/ALSA)". Also sound has always worked without problems on this Laptop, 
and Ekiga 2.0.12 (from Debian stable) never had this problem.

I've then recompiled/reinstalled everything from SVN / Git, with the versions 
from the stable branches as given below, with the same results.

To summarize, there seem to be 3 separate issues, the first is with ekiga.net 
not accepting frequent calls of the echo service (and Ekiga not showing an 
error in this case), the second that about half the otherwise seemingly 
successful echo service connections are silent, the third that the ring tone is 
never given (but an error message instead).

Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Christian.
