Hi All-
I seem to be having problems using my sound card with asterisk and
gnophone in a Gentoo system (not sure if it being Gentoo is important
or not, but thought I'd mention it just in case). I have the following
errors when starting gnophone:
================================================
bash-2.05b$ gnophone
Card /dev/dsp is no good because Device does not support mono PCM data
Loaded and activated '/usr/lib/gnophone/modules/audio-oss.so'
Loaded and activated '/usr/lib/gnophone/modules/audio-phone.so'
iax.c line 654 in iax_init: Started on port 5036
Listening on port 5036
Initialized phone core
No audio devices found
bash-2.05b$
================================================
(my pardon if I should be asking about gnophone in the gnophone list,
but since they're both using the IAX protocol, I thought that the
reason for the asterisk failure might be related in some way to the
reason for the gnophone failure, and so I have included gnophone
details here as well)
...and also these errors when running asterisk:
================================================

In addition to the above, I noted a comment from asterisk about killing
artsd, and have tried running asterisk without X running at all and
with X/KDE 3.2 running, but after having killed the artsd and verified
that it's dead with ps aux | grep arts (it was there before, and
afterwards, it's gone).
I tried gnophone with X/KDE 3.2 running, but after having killed the
artsd (using kcontrol->Sound & Multimedia->Sound System) and verified
that it's dead with ps aux | grep arts (it was there before, and
afterwards, it's gone).
I'm using alsa and a Gentoo kernel version 2.4.22, but with oss
emulation as setup in my USE variable:

(some details snipped as they seemed irrelevant)
**************************************
When I'm not testing asterisk and have artsd running, sound in KDE and
Gnome works fine for me with CD players, mp3 players, system
notification sounds, etc.
Anyone have any thoughts on what the problem is here? Is it simply the
case that asterisk and gnophone don't support my hardware? I could'a
swore I read that they worked with any sound card that worked in Linux.
Thanks for any comments.
