[Quickcall] Fedora 13 anybody?

[Michael Cheselka]

Hello Ed,

It always says "disabled".  I'm puzzled by this too. I also have white
noise when pressing the "test speakers" button.  I think that's the
correct sound for mono devices.  When I set the quickall to the
default output device, mplayer video's audio sound fine( albeit: in
mono).
