[Linphone-users] feature request: alternative ring audio device

[Jesse Guardiani]

Hello,

I'm now using linphone 1.0.1 with my Bluetooth Logitech Mobile
Freedom Headset via bluez with a D-Link DBT 120 USB
Bluetooth adapter, and it works quite well! I'm rather
surprised how well it works, actually.

The problems I've had with linphone and ALSA + DMIX + DSNOOP
+ ASYM don't really apply in this configuration, because
the Bluez ALSA modules create their own mixer device. Since
it's a bluetooth headset, I really don't plan to use it for
anything but SIP phone calls, so I really don't mind dedicating
it to linphone.

However, it's not real comfortable to wear the headset constantly.
It would be really nice if linphone had a write-only alternative ring
audio device, like gnomemeeting. That way, the headset would ring,
but my laptop speakers could also ring. So I wouldn't have to be
wearing the headset constantly. I could just put it on when I hear
the laptop ring.

Just a thought. Thanks for reading!
