However, now that I've got Matt's modified doubletalk server I don't really need to use it all that much. You're lucky you have a kernel-supplied module for your sound card. I've got a Yamaha YMF744 chip in this laptop here and the only driver for that is either with alsa or the commercial OSS. The kernel-supplied yamaha modules don't work for me, so I'm effectively stopped using ViaVoice until this little bug is fixed. If you're going to mess with the pthread libraries, make backups of your originals before you do it, and make sure to note the symlinks correctly. And if that does not turn out to be the issue, as I suspect it's not, you should put the distribution's pthread libraries back in place. BTW: Use the script command to get these error codes. Type "script" and then run the command, hit ctrl-c, then exit the shell that script spawned. The transcript of your entire shell session will be in the file "typescript", located in the directory in which you originally ran script.
