Agree. My main concern here is that most of the claims in the skype forums are ubuntu related (including a few of my own). On the bright side I think this is because we're a lot more.
If you don't mind a question: what's your alsa version? I'm with alsa- base 1.0.10-4ubuntu4 but some folks in the skype forums mention 1.0.11 and the last stable version is 1.0.13 (by the way, ALSA's site has a big SUSE logo in it, you don't need to wonder why Skype works smooth on that distro) -- Computer freezes on incoming communication for Skype 1.3beta in ALSA mode https://launchpad.net/bugs/58194 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
