It started with rendering the video on the GUI. Switching to the TTY
sound was still there. Unfortunately Schroedinger's Cat doesn't allow you

As mentioned there is at least one other app too. Linphone still rings
when I was called but at the TTY.

I just notice that Linphone also has a curses based interface. Something I
should look into.
