Bug#509405: iaxcomm: Unable to open sound streams

[jkl345 at gmx.net]

Package: iaxcomm
Version: 2.0.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Iaxcomm is not able to open the sound device via PortAudio sound library.
Sound device configured is accessible and works with other applications.

The error message on startup of iaxcomm is:

PortAudio error at Unable to open streams: Invalid error code (value greater than zero)
IAXCLIENT: failed to start camera, will keep trying

When trying to establish a call, the following error message appears:
