Bug#338307: network problem

[Christophe Combelles]

Hello,

I had exactly the same problem,
gnomemeeting freezes when I trie to discover the sound devices,
when I play the test souns in the prefs, or when gnomemeeting itself
tries to play a sound on an event.
And I did an strace of the process (see below).

When looking to my /etc/hosts, I discovered that I was missing a correct "ip 
hostname" line. (removed by a config script)
The ip was wrong, and the freeze is just a network timeout.
If I wait 1 minute or two, gnomemeeting starts responding again.

But why is gnomemeeting doing things with the network while playing sounds ??!!
Is it a problem in alsa ?

Could you confirm that:
- if you wait long enough, the freeze stops
- you have correct entries in /etc/hosts ?
   (one "127.0.0.1 localhost"  and one   "your_ip your_hostname" )


regards,
Christophe
