Thank you!!! This has annoyed me for as long as I have been running FreeBSD and used XMMS and GnomeMeeting! (Though apparently not enough for me to fix it myself.) Both now work like they are supposed to. XMMS was just an annoyance, but it was a real problem with GnomeMeeting. Thanks to all of your work, audio is now working better than ever before. -- R.
