Kevin, This button doesn't mute the microphone, it really stops the transmission of audio data. The MIC still is active. The result might be similar but it's definitely not the same. I agree that the tooltip is long and maybe confusing. Is there another word or short expression that matches the real functionality?

What qualitative difference to the user does that make? I agree that the tooltip is long and maybe confusing. Is there another word or short expression that matches the real functionality?

Anyway, I have a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX (046d:08d7) I noticed it has been previously discussed that these cameras (actually, any that use gspca driver, apparently) tend to return with a cropped image instead of an error to ekiga, causing ekiga to use the cropped image instead of choosing a larger resolution and scaling. This is definitely an issue for gspca (which, hopefully somebody working on that reads this). My concern, however, is that ekiga does not offer any options for manually configuring how it behaves regarding resolutions. Can an option be included to manually select the resolution that is scaled? Also, is there any plans for ekiga to support transmission of larger resolutions? I'd love to have my 640x480 sent or scaled to 320x240 or 176x144. Ekiga should support that. Question: what other resolutions does Ekiga support, and how do I switch between them? The development version of Ekiga will support all possible resolutions with codecs supporting those resolutions. The stable version does not support changing the resolution. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\Ekiga Softphone : http://www.ekiga.org/ v_/_ NOVACOM : http://www.novacom.be/ FOSDEM : http://www.fosdem.org/ SIP Phone : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
