Hi Leo,

I'm surprised the other person didn't reply to your questions above.

I also have the problem with this issue.
I'm on Natty for 32 bits.


cwirc:
  Installed: 2.0.0-4
  Candidate: 2.0.0-4
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.0-4 0
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


I hope this can help to troubleshoot the problem.

Thanks  in advance,

Stepnjump

Title:
  cwirc does not work with pulseaudio natively

Status in “cwirc” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cwirc

  cwirc expects a dsp device. Using the default /dev/dsp  gives "Error:
  cannot open sound device /dev/dsp" (pulseaudio is using it).

  A workaround is to launch xchat with:
  padsp xchat

  As pulseaudio is installed by default this workaround should be
  documented in the package.

  The package could offer to change the shortcut on install to a simple wrapper script that uses padsp if it finds pulseaudio.
  maybe with
  /usr/bin/pulseaudio --check
