d4 and bt

Hi,

Calling Eugen with today stable branch, I had no output sound while in call
(the culprit might be my own setup, not ekiga) and a freeze while playing with
options in sound settings (pulse audio mixer)

see the attachement for d4 and bt.

Best regards,
Yannick

What I see is that you hangup the call.

Ekiga tries to close the audio device, but it can't. Wouldn't it be related to the wonderful pulseaudio again ?

The freeze may be a case of deadlock in SysV semaphores, see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ekiga-list/2010-March/msg00006.html (try whether the posted script helps).

This is documented at http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#Freeze_when_using_ALSA.  It seems this is not an Ekiga issue, as per previous comment.
