linphone - update request

[bmarkus]

I did not try OSS. Why it looks promissing, I always end up with some problem with OSS so I use ALSA. Also during compilation one of the dependencies brings ALSA dev, don't remember which one.

Didn't try Xvesa. Running on stock TC in a terminal you can see an error message claimng a missing Xvideo extension and no local camera picture. Xorg is a soft dependency, so you can try current version with Xvesa. Let us share the result.

hi bmarkus,

i want to confirm you a full working live-usbstick-linphone-alsa-xorg-video configuration.
thank you very much for your nice extension and your work.

in the future i want to look for a tiny, lean oss-xvesa-solution as well.
if you can give me hints for reaching this goal, every hint and help is highly appreciated

keep on going, thanks for your commitment

Video requires Xorg, however it is possible to build a voice only version to eliminate this dependency.

OSS is a good question. While it looks promissing, I always end up with some failures and go back to ALSA to have a working system. Distributions usually install ALSA by deafault for similar reason. All together OSS is out of my interest

your actual package works seamless voice-only with xvesa, never mind

in the moment i use alsa as my standard sound system, too.
but nevertheless on some hardware alsa doesn't work out-of-the-box,
while oss just works on this alsa-problematic hardware

one of my goals is a "one size fits all"- or
"one config that just works on almost every hardware"-concept and it's almost possible

If there ever will be a tc release for Raspberry Pi I would get one and install linphone.
