[desktop-discuss] Ekiga NAT detection still FUBARed in nv70 :-(

[Elaine Xiong]

Gary,

To simply answer your question is that the audio on a webcam dev hasn't 
been supported yet in snv and Ekiga. Let me try to explain it as clearly 
as possible. The usb audio driver(I mean the audio part) for most of 
webcam hasn't been integrated into snv. The usb driver team has their 
own concern about the mess that is caused by the driver integration,

1. The current audio framework in solaris would take the latest plugin 
audio dev(including usb audio dev) as the default audio dev, which is 
"/dev/audio" pointing to. Note that "/dev/audio" contains play and 
record dev. It would be impossible to run any other application(like 
realplay) using the on-board sound card after plugin a webcam with 
microphone since the node of "/dev/audio" hardcoded in most of the 
applications now points to a audio dev on webcam without play function.
2. The development of OSS driver in solaris is ongoing. It will bring 
something new into SADA framework. All the issues related to audio/usb 
audio/oss/applications should be resolved by general consensus.


Thank you,

Best Regards,
Elaine
