Now, I hope you've had lots of fun discussing the origins of multimedia, but let's get back to my original question. :-) I'm trying to establish a transmission between two FreeBSD boxes using vat, as a test before I have mbone turned on for our subnet. I can add the session to sd ok, and it shows up, I can open it, but vat appears to be having trouble accessing the audio. 1. On the two machines, the other will drop out of vat (grey-out). Restarting vat brings it back, but only temporary. 2. I get no audio from the other machine, or from the tests. I only get a little `blip' when I quit out of vat. Vat's stats show that packets are getting sent, however. 3. I have trouble with vat losing the audio device (it's bottom titlebar turns italic), and the microphone's VU meters don't move, except the first time I fire it up. If I open the menu, then the microphone doesn't respond in vat. I'm guessing that vat is having trouble communicating with the audio system.
