Hi again I tried using build 8136 and build 8140 (I don't have the time to set-up a build enviroment for WengoPhone myself, so I use the builds available from openwengo's website) on a Linux 2.6.15-27-k7 (Kubuntu Dapper Drake, if that rings a bell). Sound support is still very poor - it is actually impossible to use Wengo to call anybody if any other sound-enabled application is running (crashes upon talking)!
Now, I know it's still beta and so on and so forth, but hello, Skype has released the new 1.3beta version with ALSA as the sound back-end, and I've heard it works like a charm; Gizmo project seems to have a fairly good sound support in Linux; and WengoPhone used to!.. And I actually *do* mean it, I remember Wengo (yes again, I am refering to Wengo NG a.k.a. Wengo 2.0) running like hell on my box - the same configuration - along with some other sound-enabled apps (amarok, beep-media-player, etc.). The Big Question is: how on earth did it get b0rked? And when?! (no, I don't remember wich of the revs where working ok) I *don't want* to (and *will not*) use Skype as my VoIP Softphone (ideological reasons: OpenSource fanatic here), but that's not the point, now is it? I mean, I would just *love* to show Wengo to my friends and family, and spread the word, and tell everyone I know why Wengo is better than Skype, and, and... but I can't. Simply because - man, I hate to say it! - it is *not* better than Skype at the moment. The sound just doesn't work. And yes, I know I have already raised this issue, but hey, something like 250+ revs ago... By my book, that would mean it *needs* to be raised again. Nevertheless cheers Mike
