Bug#283258: gnomemeeting: Please add support for OSS sound device

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: gnomemeeting
Version: 1.0.2-5
Severity: wishlist

When I try to configure gnomemeeting, I'm unable to configure it to
use the sound device I am using (Open Sound System - OSS).

The only alternatives presented are ALSA and Quicknet.  I've tried
both, and neither work with my sound device.  Changing kernel or
kernel modules are not an option for me, so my only alternative is to
no use gnomemeeting.

Please add OSS as an alternative Audio Device.
