Freephone:

http://www-sop.inria.fr/rodeo/fphone/index.html

a cross-platform internet telephony app, seems to be broken on linux
2.2pre

when i click on the "push to talk" button - which seems to be when it
opens /dev/dsp - it works fine and registers sound coming in the mic.

when i release the button (and that seems to close /dev/dsp aswell ) and
click on it again (hence opening /dev/dsp again) to talk, freephone
doesn't register any sound coming in from the mic, and the kernel spits
out:

Jan 17 21:19:33 jakma kernel: Sound: Recording overrun

as infinitum

it works on 2.0.35.
