- Ekiga and OSS
- ==========================
-
- Though Ekiga is supposed to work with OSS, it has a lot of issues
- because of the faulty drivers OSS has. The only place that it's recommended
- the use of OSS over ALSA is if you own a SBLive! card.
-
- If not, we encourage you to install ALSA support. For that, you need to
- install 'alsa-base', 'alsa-oss' and, if you have a 2.4 kernel,
- the 'alsa-modules-$kernelversion' that matches with your kernel.
- You need also to make sure that 'libpt-plugins-alsa' package is
- installed in your system.
-
- Beware that installing ALSA is not a trivial task, and you need to know
- a bit how your kernel modules are loaded. Please, read alsa-base package
- documentation after installing it to know how to enable ALSA in your system.
- If you are using GNOME, you will probably want to install also 'libesd-alsa0'
- and 'gstreamer0.8-alsa' packages, and enable 'alsasink' in gstreamer
- configuration (Apps->Desktop Preferences->Advanced->Multimedia System Selector'
