Speak Freely

Hi All;

I've spent the last two days trying to get speak freely (Internet voice
program with encryption, see 

I believe I have a full duplex card running properly.  I can play a CD and
mp3's at the same time, and have both come out the speakers at once.  It
shows up as:

pci1: <Matrox MGA G200 AGP graphics accelerator> at 0.0 irq 11
pcm0: <CMedia CMI8738> port 0xd800-0xd8ff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci0
ohci0: <CMD Tech 670 (USB0670) USB controller> mem 0xdd000000-0xdd000fff
irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0

Speakfreely was first installed from ports, then compiled in half duplex
mode.  If I launch sfspeaker -d from one window, and sfmike -d some.host
from another, I get the following error from sfspeaker:

new:dmiller$ sfspeaker -d
sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting.
sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting.
sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting.


It happens while using two terminal sessions after a cold boot; it's not a
matter of something else in gnome having a lock on the audio device.

I've tried three different sound cards, all of which came up as /dev/pcm0.

I'm using 4.9RC and speakfreely 7.6a.

One other thing that seems odd is that sound from the mike comes through
the speakers even when sfmike is "paused".

Suggestions and/or clues most welcome.

Thanks,

--- David
