One option is to try and add a hint to the setup for the alsa pulse plugin. I've seen some apps that only show devices where a hint is available and perhaps this is why is wrong with zoiper? I've recently added files to upstream alsa-plugins which do this by default: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-plugins.git;a=commit;h=84ce9d8230d19ebd67bc8db691bab74c4cbac979 Worth a shot, but it probably is a long one :) Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
