Hello all; While trying to run gphone I am getting some errors. It works fine on one system, but on the other (nearly identical config) it spews out lines: ** WARNING **: *** Sound card refuses to open the microphone ** CRITICAL **: *** file sound.c: line 384 (read_samples): assertion `hand != NULL' failed. These lines repeat over and over as long as gphone is running. However running it as root (ack!) works fine. Any ideas/suggestions? TIA, Ron
