Hello, apparently things have gone better. I am not sure that this is because of the install mentioned in an earlier message.
I have another computer with Debian/Testing installed and tried the install/configuration of ekiga and notice that on that computer the configuration of the ALSA sound system was almost immediate, while on my own laptop it lasts for more than five minutes... but finally detects the proper sound device. What's funny is that with the wizard setup, I can go up to the end of the configuration, but ekiga's main window does not show up and I have to kill the process and re-execute, which goes again in wizard configuration mode, which I cancel and at that point I finally have access to the ekiga's main window. Anyway, it seems that it works. Cheers, Filippo Rusconi -- Filippo Rusconi, PhD - CNRS researcher - key C78F687C @ pgp.mit.edu Author of ``GNU polyxmass'' at http://www.polyxmass.org
