Re: [Linphone-developers] releasing sound card

[Cameron Barfield]

Hi, Julian --

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that mediastreamer only opens the sound card when 
there's audio to play. I've had instances where my sound card wasn't getting initialized, 
but linphone didn't throw any errors until it tried to ring for an incoming call.

What sound card are you using on your blackfin board? If you're using the AD1980/AD1981, 
ADI has recently added MMAP support to the distro and kernel so that DMIX can be used to 
handle multiple connections to the same sound card.

Regards,
Cameron
