Hi again!

I'll check again. I did mention in my original post that the
sound card and webcam otherwise work fine.... There is a mixer
called alsamixer that seems to work fine to control sound. It
has not yet crashed or given any problems, but I could try
using it more often and see if it ever happens. Thus far the
only crashes have occurred when running Ekiga, and these crop
up rather quickly, with the error mentioned on the subject line
of this thread.

I'll hunt for the config file. Thanks.
