In 1.4 I used alsa.conf and Dial(Console/Dsp) In 1.8 this is not working (as I had it) . I know there is a new chan_console I'd like to try both. What is the correct Dial() for ALSA direct? What is the correct Dial() for chan_console? I "thought" if chan_alsa was loaded it would default to old behaviour if chan_console was not loaded. Thanks, jerry -- This is the error I see in 1.8.
