<br>
This is not true.<br>
I am running freeswitch as the user I am logged in.<br>
<br>
as root:<br>
chown -R tamer:users /opt/freeswitch<br>
<br>
as user:<br>
/opt/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -nc<br>
<br>
as user:<br>
fs_cli -r<br>
<br>
and you will see portaudio runs without any problems.<br>
<br>
I have it in combination with pulseaudio running.<br>
<br>
<br>
best, Tamer<br>
