Few weeks ago I used Google Hangouts on Firefox on my FreeBSD desktop
and everything worked out of the box, it's sad it's all moving towards
one and only operating system. In the past it was a lot easier to run
Linux stuff using linux compat layer, nowadays I feel it's impossible in
most cases... Wine always had problems as far as I remember, so I bet on
linuxulator :)

Going back to Temas, which I need to use at work as it's our official
communication platform - I can make it up to choppy sound in some
situations but not working microphone is no go, I wonder what's the
problem and how to debug that.
