Again: there have been two public Skype betas out for a while, maybe for two
months now. It already works better than the stable release. And yes,
it does use ALSA.

The accent is on "betas".

What have you found non-functional about the betas?

Is there some reason why you can't use Ekiga?

I have no problem using Ekiga. It's the other people who do.

It comes in a nice, easy to install RPM (unlike skype which only has RPMs for FC3 and FC4 or tarballs).

I've never had a problem with binary tarballs (source tarballs are a horse of a different colour).

Also, as Rahul has pointed out, the aoss stuff is available if you really need it.

Yes, if you don't mind compiling from source.

But why go through the pain?   Is it because the people you want to talk to will only run Skype?

It's because most people I want to talk to run Microsoft Windows.
