However, I persevered and got it running on Fedora 12 x86_64 anyways.</div>

<br></div><div>Google ought to hire someone that knows about App Development and Linux Audio and Fedora packaging (me?) to make the audio/video experience nicer for it's Linux users. In particular, not just blindly using ALSA devices for input that cannot possibly support audio capture, although I guess I'm a fringe-case since I don't use pulseaudio, since I've got KDE's phonon setup to do the right thing w/r/t all my audio devices, including the ones talking via Jackd.

Also, not assuming every Linux user runs a debian/ubuntu distro would be helpful as well :-)</div>
