Bug#257993: gnomemeeting: Gnomemeeting cannot find my audio devices

[P. Oscar Boykin]

Package: gnomemeeting
Version: 1.0.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Gnomemeeting using the ALSA plugin cannot see any devices.  I am using
the 2.6 linux kernel and I am using alsa drivers (snd-ens1371 to be
precise).

Audio works fine from other applications (for instance esd, rythmbox).
