whoops, i guess i wasnt clear enough at this point. You got to load the
state file via
"alsactl -f /usr/share/shr/scenarii/linphone2.state restore" (assuming you
put it into this corresponding directory) before making a call with
linphone.

as i said, it worked here, i could call myself on another PC using
Ekiga/linphone on it and on my mobile. didn't test how the removal of
asound.conf affects the system in general, especially after a reboot. i
guess it is there for a reason. i would like to do further testing, but i'm
short in time for at least the next few days.

anyway, feel free to mail :)

Greetings!
