Has anybody found SL to be a credible and reliable platform for audio and video, in particular skype or do we need to be thinking of a more consumer-orientated distro such as ubuntu?
I ask because a user asked to to install skype. Skype installs fine and the video and audio _appear_ to be supported but... * The video plays on the screen when I test it but skype doesn't seem to recognise it. * Audio output works but I cannot record. * Trying to record on a different machine for testing gives the helpful message: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:583: audio open error: No such file or directory The impression I get from google is that linux audio recording is, shall we say, "interesting". I'm hoping that somebody will be able to make it uninteresting by saying "if you use this card, this camera and this recipe it will work reliably". Many thanks if you can. John
