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

[Simon Morlat]

Hello,

Arg...
I've done big changes yesterday in the soundcard selection topic, in order to 
be able to choose different devices for playback and capture... So now your 
patch really conflicts with the code I've written...
Anyway I 'll rewrite it.

Your mail has been retained for approval by the mailing list system because 
the patch was too big; that's why it took time to be spread to members.  
Sorry for that.
