Just to mention, about the specific Skype issue, the Skype developers are adding the Pulseaudio support to the next version!
There's a poll to vote which version are you using. I encourage the Ubuntu users to vote and assure a better support in the future. http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=373081&st=0 Best, Igor Gomes -- Default ALSA device must use PulseAudio, otherwise ALSA applications may fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198453 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
