I also recently upgraded my Audacity 1.0 to 1.2.1 on my 4.10 box and it wouldn't work either, saying something like "Can't open audio sublayer" or some such. I noticed that , even though it was set to dsp0, it was trying to open /dev/dsp. I made a link from dsp0 to dsp and audacity started to work. I then wondered if this had anything to do with kphone's problems, so I opened it and voila! It opened right up. My friend who has asterisk running has a test dialup which gives you the weather and time, and I dialed that and could understand it OK, but barely, however it was better than 5.2.1. So, I had him place a call to me and it connected OK, but 4.10 has a very strange situation in kphone receive, it seems to chop on slightly after a word has begun, then stay on for a phrase, then repeat the phrase and chop off. It's like someone stuttering, almost.. In transmit, the pitch (My friend heard this, not me) is seemingly about 1/2 of normal and sounds like Worf with a cold. Oh , well.. -Jim
