Having compile options with newer ugly that I need look at. So far two
of us have audio with these versions:

gst-plugins-good-0.10.15-i686-1_SBo
gst-plugins-bad-0.10.13-i686-1_SBo
gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.11-i686-1_SBo
gst-ffmpeg-0.10.8-i686-1_SBo
gst-python-0.10.16-i686-1_daw
gst-plugins-base-0.10.24-i686-1
gstreamer-0.10.24-i686-1
libnice-0.0.9-i686-1_daw
farsight2-0.0.14-i686-1_daw 

Not had video working yet, but will carry on testing this evening.

Cheers
