Ok. One more way of doing what you want with Ekiga popped to my mind. You can do quite complex things in ~/.asoundrc. Too bad the configuration language is totally incomprehensible (with the documentation I've read, anyway; http://alsa.opensrc.org/.asoundrc looks like it might actually explain the concepts in acceptable detail and clarity). I assume you already have the pulse device defined in /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc. In addition to that you would make two stereo devices, that would pass their data to appropriate channels in the 4-channel pulse device. If Ekiga allows you to use both devices for the ringtone, this suffices. If not, you'll need another stereo device that copies the data to both the other stereo devices, that will be the ringtone device. Good luck. I can't give any more exact advice, I never learned the alsa configuration language. -- Tanu
