Hi list,

I really like the functionality of SFLPhone -- however I'm unable to use
it so far: When taking calls, SFLPhone does neither play back anything
(curiously though the ringing itself works) nor does it record.

However, recording with audacity works perfectly and playback with
audacity/mplayer/audacious/firefox/you name it also works perfectly. I
noticed that audacity provides much more sophisiticated method of
chossing the sink/source for the audio. This is not possible in SFLPhone
and might possibly be the reason for my problems.

In Audacity, for each recording card, I also see devices and under
devices even subdevices (don't know what the correct term for these is,
but I see them in audacity):

e.g. in my setup:
Card 0 = ALC888

Device 0,0 = ALC888 Analog
Device 0,1 = ALC888 Digital

Subdevices on 0,0:
ALC888 Analog Rear Mic
ALC888 Analog Front Mic
ALC888 Analog Line

Now I happen to use digital output (S/PDIF) and analog input over the
rear microphone. SFLPhone lets me only configure the CARD (i.e. ALC888)
for each device. Therefore playback does not work (curiously again for
the ringtone it DOES). Recording seems not to be done on the rear mike,
therefore this doesn't work either (I hear nothing on either side).

Is there any way to be able to specifically select ALSA devices instead
of this shotgun-approach? Any scenario with a user-defined ALSA
configuration will cause problems if just the card is selectable.

Regards,
Joe
