The latest release built 31 August introduced what for me is a showstopper bug. I'm referring to Linphone-3.10.2-1. It is no longer possible to specify which audio device Linphone should use. Here's the relevant bit of configuration from my older .linphonerc: [sound] ringer_dev_id=ALSA: Sennheiser USB Headset playback_dev_id=ALSA: Sennheiser USB Headset capture_dev_id=ALSA: Sennheiser USB Headset This device is still present and working on the system: aplay -l |grep card card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog] card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital] card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] card 1: Device [C-Media USB Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] card 2: Headset [Sennheiser USB Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] card 3: AV710 [Chaintech AV-710], device 0: ICE1724 [ICE1724] card 3: AV710 [Chaintech AV-710], device 1: ICE1724 IEC958 [ICE1724 IEC958] card 3: AV710 [Chaintech AV-710], device 2: ICE1724 Surrounds [ICE1724 Surround PCM] card 4: DSP [Hammerfall DSP], device 0: RME Hammerfall DSP + Multiface [RME Hammerfall DSP + Multiface] However, linphone no longer sees it: soundcard list 0: PulseAudio: Built-in Audio 1: ALSA: default device linphonec> So, I'm investigating workarounds because I depend on linphone for my standards work--lots of teleconferences. Meanwhile, I do believe it's my duty to report this development as I've now seen exactly this same problem on two separate Arch machines. Caveat emptor.
