I just installed Slackware 12.0 and most recent
Gnome Slackbuild v2.20.3. Goal is to use Ekiga VOIP
software. Sound card (Ensoniq ES1371) and webcam (USB_PWC)
seem to otherwise work fine, but Ekiga is crashing. I keep
getting this error:

sndrv_pcm_hw_params: Assertion `err >= 0' failed

A search indicates this error pops up with several Linux
distros with Skype and Gizmo, in addition to Ekiga. I am
not finding a solution. Anyone know how to solve this?
