Any distro with working calls?

[Warren Baird]

I've had pretty good luck with both QtEI (now called qtmoko) and OM2009TR5 -
On OM2009 I had to tweak the default alsa config a bit.  A thread about it,
with what I did and various comments is at
http://n2.nabble.com/-om2009-r4--Warren%27s-Settings-Worked-for-Me-%28was-Re%3A-Om2009-testing--release-4%29-tp3022756p3022756.html
- note that there is some debate over whether this is a good idea.

If you are having problems with the audio quality, I'd suggest you get a
buzz fix as soon as possible.  Until then, I'd suggest you tweak the alsa
config file to see if you can get something usable - my process was to set
my laptop next to a landline - run alsamixer via ssh, and then dial the
landline from my FR.  I then basically experiemented with the controls
described in http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_Freerunner_audio_subsystemuntil
I got something relatively buzz-free that still let me hear the other
end.
