I know about the end-of-life message. For now, at least, it doesn't bother me. I just now looked at gnomemeeting. It doesn't appear to support encryption.

This is exactly what's supposed to happen when you compile it with half duplex mode enabled. You should recompile it without defining HALF_DUPLEX (which should be the default) if you want this behaviour to stop. I started out with full duplex. The error message said to compile it in half duplex. One other thing that seems odd is that sound from the mike comes through the speakers even when sfmike is paused. If this is sound from your locally connected mic, then this is probably a mixer 'input source' issue more than anything else. Try playing with the 'rec' and 'mic' input level and see if it makes any difference. I didn't observe this on a windows machine against an echo server. My freebsd box doesn't speak anything from an echo server, just gives me the error messag above. From looking briefly at the code, it looks like speakfreely thinks something else already has exclusive access to the card. man pcm indicates that the driver is full duplex, for those cards which support it. I tried a card with the yamaha chip (opl, iirc) that certainly supported it, with the same results. sflaunch should work with half duplex drivers/devices, but I don't get any sound echoed back from echo servers with it either, just the muting message above.

Speak Freely
Hi All; I've spent the last two days trying to get speak freely (Internet voice program with encryption, see I believe I have a full duplex card running properly. I can play a CD and mp3's at the same time, and have both come out the speakers at once. It shows up as: pci1: Matrox MGA G200 AGP graphics accelerator at 0.0 irq 11 pcm0: CMedia CMI8738 port 0xd800-0xd8ff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci0 ohci0: CMD Tech 670 (USB0670) USB controller mem 0xdd00-0xdd000fff irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0 Speakfreely was first installed from ports, then compiled in half duplex mode. If I launch sfspeaker -d from one window, and sfmike -d some.host from another, I get the following error from sfspeaker: new:dmiller$ sfspeaker -d sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting. sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting. sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting. It happens while using two terminal sessions after a cold boot; it's not a matter of something else in gnome having a lock on the audio device. I've tried three different sound cards, all of which came up as /dev/pcm0. I'm using 4.9RC and speakfreely 7.6a. One other thing that seems odd is that sound from the mike comes through the speakers even when sfmike is paused. Suggestions and/or clues most welcome.
