Are you sure it uses PortAudio? PortAudio is a client library and it's on
different class than PulseAudio (or ESD, ALSA, etc.).

I use Ubuntu 8.04 too. Didn't change any audio settings, and audio just
works.

Of course pjsip needs to open the microphone device, so I can understand if
that makes the audio opened in non-sharing mode.

PortAudio is a client library and it works in user space. It doesn't provide
sound server or driver or anything in the kernel.

That's just FUD. pjsip audio works fine here in my Hardy, using default
settings (which is Autodetect) or PulseAudio. If you have problems with
sharing etc, then you'll just have to find the settings in your system to
make it work.
