Sorry if my next words sound grumpy, it's not meant to be that grumpy
and of course it's not meant against you personally at all, rather to
start a discussion on the general topic "Skype and LAU":
In my opinion Skype questions are off-topic on this list. Any Skpe
questions should go directly to the Skype support team. The Skype
folks have made it clear that they don't want to deal with open source
developers and they won't support open standards, instead they promote
their proprietary system. I would prefer it if this mailing list would
not become a Skype support forum.

Interesting. Skype does work under Linux and it does use Audio. However so do a lot of other applications that we don't generally discuss. The fact that Skype doesn't support open standards is a problem. Incidentally I am uninstalling it as I type because it just annoys me. Can't say I'm really that bothered either way, although it has to be said, I'm having trouble keeping up with this list these days due to the sheer volume of traffic.

cheers,

tim hall
