Description David Polberger 2003-10-18 10:28:57 UTC 
To reproduce:

* Select Edit->Configuration Druid
* Switch to page 4 ("Audio Devices")
* Press "Test Audio"
* Wait four seconds ("Recording your voice" should change
  to "Recording and playing back")
* Press OK

Result: Application hangs, and needs to be killed.

I'm using ALSA 0.9.6 with OSS emulation, although I was hoping that the CVS
version of GnomeMeeting would use ALSA, and not go through OSS (I can't
record using OSS emulation). Recording using ALSA works.

It turns out that I had suspended mpg123, and that it was hogging
/dev/dsp. GnomeMeeting no longer hangs when mpg123 is killed.

Whether GnomeMeeting's response is appropriate (hanging when /dev/dsp
is used by another application), I leave up to the assignee :-)

It should be fixed in the latest CVS versions. If you want to try ...
