ALSA rocks! BTW: http://www.xs4all.nl/~mfnboer/twinkle/manual.html#sys_audio "NOTE:The ALSA default device should only be used for the ring tone and/or speaker. It is not recommended to use the ALSA default device for the microphone as it gives poor quality." this is not the case. fine here. http://www.xs4all.nl/~mfnboer/twinkle/faq.html#alsa_no_sound "There can be many reasons why you do not get sound. With ALSA, a common problem is the lack of a proper /etc/asound.conf file. Here is a copy of my asound.conf." twinkle guys should update their docs. y tom _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
