Ekiga and VoipCheap

Hi to all.
I'm trying to configure Ekiga in order to use my VoipCheap account. The problem I get when testing sound through the Configuration Druid is:

Failed to open the device

Impossible to open the selected audio device (HDA Intel) for playing. Please check your audio setup, the permissions and that the device is not busy.

I tried to end the 'pulseaudio' process and I'm do able to perform audio tests. I can hear my voice at a very low level even if my mic level is at top. Moreover Ekiga hangs when pressing the OK button to stop sound tests.

Thanks for your time.
Manolo.

Remove pulseaudio completely and it should work.

Removing pulseaudio would mean removing the ubuntu-desktop package. I made it once and it automatically removed all the packages related to ubuntu-desktop (evolution, GDM, etc.).

Then, don't use ubuntu... It is shipping with untested and broken
software.

It shouldn't.

Ubuntu Desktop is a "meta package and there are few times I've removed
things and it has removed that one with no detrimental effects.

Obviously YMMV but a quick google will show you what I mean:

"ubuntu-desktop (just like kubuntu-desktop and others) is a metapackage,
meaning that it doesn't contain anything but depends on many other
packages. (but not other package depends on it). So installing
ubuntu-desktop will install Gnome and all apps that are in the default
Ubuntu desktop, but removing the ubuntu-desktop package will not remove
anything else than the metapackage.

Metapackages are often used to install groups of packages in easy way."

That's just as you said "It shouldn't". I just wrote what really happened to me and it was not a wanderful experience. I'll think twice about it before trying to uninstall it again.
Thanks for your reply.

This is a bandaid at best - while I'm happy to use Slackware & OBSD -
it looks like both Fedora and Ubuntu have gone with Pulseaudio and it
is my understanding that applications that work with pulseaudio
essentially get their own interface to the sound system - rather than
break all the other apps that work with Pulse audio for these
distributions, you should be able to configure a bypass for Ekiga that
takes it to Jack or Alsa directly. wish I knew enough to help at this
stage - ss_ss

If you do work it out, and Ekiga remains unhappy with Pulseaudio, I
would appreciate it if you could post it to this list - I'm about to
install Fedora9 and want to use Ekiga too.

TIA - Ed

Sorry, I just have no idea of what "configure a bypass for Ekiga" would mean in this context...
Of course I'll post the possible solution to my problem on this list, whatever it is.

manolo@manolo-laptop:~$ killall pulseaudio
manolo@manolo-laptop:~$ lsof `find /dev/ -group audio`

manolo@manolo-laptop:~$ killall mixer_applet2

Actually running Ekiga now doesn't give me that "device busy" error  anymore. I can perform the test and I realize headphones and microphone work. unfortunately when I press OK to terminate the test Ekiga hangs and I can only Force Quit.
