Hello Elaine,

Thanks very much for your hard work on maintaining Ekiga.

ossrecord works fine.  I'm kind of new to OSS.  I find that
tweaking the settings in ossxmix helps with getting things
to work and sound well.

I think the problem with read failing with EAGAIN is in the
pwlib code, it should not try to do the open() in non-blocking
mode as described in the documention reference in my
code comment for the proposed fix.  And of course I provided
the truss outputs, references to the open sound documentation,
and my proposed fix support my point of view that the bug is
in pwlib and not the OSS driver.  Happy to be proved wrong
though :-).

It works for me with my fix :-).

Of course I can understand that you don't believe me
until you've had a chance to test it yourself.

Hopefully my proposed fix will work for you.

Thanks very much.
