Bug#509405: Strange behaviour after reboot

[Raoul Bönisch]

Hello!

After one of the reboots on the machine all of the sudden without
any change to the whole system the sound device /dev/dsp appeared
in iaxcomm config menu. I chose this one for all sound devices
and intermittently dialing works. Choosing the ALSA sound devices
does not work at all, not one time.

After dialing, hanging up results in different failures.
Sometimes the messages

Expression 'bytesWritten = write( component->fd,
component->buffer, len )' failed in
'src/hostapi/oss/pa_unix_oss.c', line: 1096
Expression 'PaOssStreamComponent_Write( stream->playback, &frames
)' failed in 'src/hostapi/oss/pa_unix_oss.c', line: 1665

appear and that's all. iaxcomm says ring out is running. Actually
it seems to, though no sounds is there. But the loudness bar
moves after a time as the answering machine picks up, so the
application seems to receive the answering machine sound which I
cannot hear on my headphones. Then the machine seems to record
and clicking the connection bar on top of iaxcomm window does not
give blue background. Clicking second connection bar and then the
first gives the blue blackground. Only then can I hangup this
connection.

Sometimes I even get the sound again. Defocusing sound by
clicking alternative connection bar and refocusing does not work
though.

I think there might be a problem in iaxcomm choosing which
channel to play on the audio output.

There is a 2.1 branch in the development source code and some bug
reports fixed in latest releases sound quite similar to mine.
Perhaps the problem is even fixed in latest release.
