Hi!

Is alsa an _absolute_ requirement?

I'm using the commercial (but free for home/personal use)
OSS drivers from http://opensound.com/oss.html under SuSE 10.0 
running a vanilla 2.6.15.1 x86 kernel.

I've never encountered any application having problems with
the OSS drivers, just used /dev/audioX devices.

There are no devices to select in the audio configuration
dialog. On the console is printed:
...
PA :: getWaveInDeviceId(), didn't found input device id for 
** Register and initialize null audio driver
** Message: Could not get root euid: operation not permitted
phapi: added codec: AMR-WB/16000
...

Of course I do _not_ run wengophone as root. The user 
has write access to /dev/audio* and can read from /dev/video*.

Is there any documention about the .wengo/wengo-config file
and howto make the changes persistant? 

Btw, a similar problem regarding the video device:
Only /dev/video0 is selectable despite /dev/video1 and /dev/video2
exist too. If I change the video device to /dev/video2 in
.wengo/wengo-config it gets overwritten upon wengophone startup.

Thanks in advance for any hints!

Regards, Walter

PS: For the curious:
    I'm using OSS ever since 1997 or 1998 or so (can't 
    remember exactly) because the native Linux sounddrivers,
    also provided for free by OSS but only for ISA devices,
    did not have full duplex capability.
    Needless to say, half-duplex VoIP is a bit cumbersome... 
    Since the OSS drivers worked, and continue to work, for me,
    I'm still using them. 

    Btw, I'm also still using "ancient" SpeakFreely for VoIP:
    http://speak-freely.sourceforge.net
    
    Unfortunately it cannot cope with NAT, you do need 
    port-forwarding.
