[mythtv-users] Mythphone - received invalid payload

I'm running Mythdora5 and I've got a problem getting Mythphone set up on 
a FE.
I have an account with FWD and I can connect, the loopback tests (local 
socket & NAT) work but when I try the FWD echo test on 613 I get the 
first few seconds of the message ("..will be repeated back to you just 
as soon as it's recei") and then the connection's drops. The speaking 
clock on 612 acts similarly. At the moment I don't have anyone to call 
(how sad) to try a live connection.

I'm using a Logitech USB web cam and I'm not sure which is the mic 
device - I have a choice of /dev/dsp & /dev/dsp1 in Mythphone setup: if 
I use /dev/dsp (or 'None') I get the issue described, if I select 
/dev/dsp1 I don't get any sound output but 613 seems to work - the 
connection remains until I disconnect manually, but I don't get a video 
signal returned.

My FE is running on an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI board so  the /dev/dsp* are 
presumably the onboard sound (is dsp1 the Digital device & dsp the 
analog?), in which case I've got the wrong mic device

Here's my mythfrontend.log. Looks like I have a mixer setup issue anyway 
(I've selected ALSA:default for sound & mixer in the general frontend 
setup).

When I select /dev/dsp1 as mic I also get the message
    Client wanted a FPS of 20 but the camera delivered 9
in the log, as well as the payload messages

How do I find the USB mic's device name and can anyone explain the 
payload message - I've not found anything meaningful using Google

Thanks
John
