Hi,

Does anyone know what is the best Softphone application for slackware? One that doesn't require too much libs ? Any suggestion are welcome.

Thanks

Ekiga or X-Lite

I tried running X-lite and it gives the error below,

Quote:

$ ./xtensoftphone
Warning: /dev/dsp appears to be a valid audio device, but I cannot
open it. Please ensure that no other applications are
using the audio device (perhaps by trying ``lsof /dev/dsp'').

Does anyone know why is that? Is it because of arts? How can I fix this error and make my audio work?

Thanks In advance.

I'm guessing it means you did not make yourself a member of the audio group. make sure you are in the audio group then try it again

try
chmod 666 /dev/dsp
