Re: [Linphone-users] Please include native support for PulseAudio

[Felix Lechner]

I cannot report any latency issues with PulseAudio.  The only
confusing thing is to get Linphone to function at all---but that is
the same problem for almost all applications.

The best way to keep PulseAudio and linphone from blocking each other
is to have all three audio devices in Linphone (input, output, ring)
use the default ALSA device.  My setup is standard Ubuntu, in which
the default ALSA device is routed to PulseAudio.

To address Simon's question, the drawback in that setup is that the
ringer device is the same as regular audio output.  I like to speak on
the headset but have trouble hearing the faint ringing on the headset
when I am not wearing it.

I think that problem might go away if PulseAudio was supported directly.
