I'm looking for a usable/stable (but I don't mind if it's simple,
it's only for casual 1-to-1 talks with another debian person) net
phone solution that I can run without having to upgrade to testing or
unstable.
Has anyone already found this?
(I could probably also live with a gnome 2 installation *in parallel*
with my standard woody gnome, if I really need it (hint:
gnomemeeting) and this doesn't mean too much work for me to compile
it or it's already compiled by a trustable person.)
Do I need ALSA? Does ALSA work on 2.4.22/ppc? I'm using standard
dmasound_pmac (2.4.22+ben1) and I'm getting "could not open sound
device /dev/dsp - check permissions or full duplex capability".
Before you find a recording program first dmasound needs to be replaced
since it doesn't support recording (anymore?). Yet once 2.6 with ALSA is
out it should be quite well possible since the specs are available:

On the alsa mailing list I've asked if the reason for no recording is
due a lack of specs for the sound chip or a lack of desire and time on
the developer end. I've yet to get a response. Does anyone here know?
The docs for the current Mac sound chips are publicly
available from Texas Instruments, and very readable.
Search their site for the specs to the TAS3001C and/or
TAS3004.
Have fun,
