Would people be interested in a VoIP (Voice over IP) talk?
If only! My brother and I tried for a long time to get Linux Internet 'phone software (various) to work without luck. We could get a connection from either end but no sound. We disabled all firewalls at one point in case that was the problem - but no luck.
Charles Garcia-Tobin and myself (Charles has posted to this list before) have had gnomemeeting working a few times with both video and audio. I have even had it working when connected to Netmeeting.
Assuming that your sound mixer is passing the mic input over to capture and you both have the same codecs (we found it also helped to both be running the latest build of gnomemeeting) then it should just work.
A big clue to what is going wrong can be the status of the data indicators at the bottom of the gnomemeeting panel. I can never remember which is data in and which is out. but basically when there is some noise made at your mic (whilst on a connected session) then one of them should be showing a data rate other than 0.00, if not then there is something wrong with the configuration of your audio capture device. I also seem to remember the later builds having a facility to check mic capture levels, if so then it may be worth looking at that.
There is some info on the gnomemeeting site about how to set up firewalls etc....
