Summary:                    Skype Does not work with aoss
Description: 
I downloaded alsa-oss-1.0.9rc2 and install by
# ./configure --with-aoss=yes && make && make install
as root. Virtually every program works except skype
(http://www.skype.com/) version 1.1.0.13_API. I downloaded the Fedora
version of skype from the skype official website. Skype only uses
/dev/dsp. I guess skype uses /dev/dsp as microphone input as well. I could
not hear anything and the microphone did not work as well if I run  skype
like aoss /usr/bin/skype. If I run skype without aoss, then skype works
just fine.

ok i have now skype working with aoss and dmix. solution found somewhere in
the web, not only mine...

1) i have whole .11rc4
2) i have .asoundrc pasted below (yes i know i should use no more it)
3) start skype this way:

export ALSA_OSS_PCM_DEVICE="skype"
aoss /opt/skype/skype.bin --resources-path /opt/skype/

it works with dmix, i can listen mplayer and use skype audio

only a notice: whould be so nice if next alsa could implement such things
by default settings

cat .asoundrc
pcm.skype {
    type asym
    playback.pcm "skypeout"
    capture.pcm "skypein"
 }

 pcm.skypein {
    type route
    slave {
       pcm "skypedsnoop"
       format S16_LE
    }
    ttable {
       0 {0 0.5}
       1 {0 0.5}
    }
 }

 pcm.skypeout {
    type plug
    slave {
       pcm "dmix"
    }
 }

 pcm.skypedsnoop {
    type dsnoop
    ipc_key 1133
    slave {
       pcm "hw:0,0"
       period_size 256
       periods 16
       buffer_size 16384
    }
    bindings {
       0 0
    }
 }

If Hetfield 's solution work, this may mean the problem is dsnoop in stead
of dmix.

The OSS application try to capture mono, but the ALSA driver of most
on-board audio chip only support stereo capture instead of mono
