I'm not sure to what or who I should ask this question: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#Skype : Now launch skype whether from the run dialog or from a shell using the command "pasuspender skype". This momentarily suspends pulseaudio, and starts skype. If you're running skype all the time (like me, from login to logout, if you want to be able to receive skype calls), the momentarily suspension of pulseaudio becomes indefinitely. So pulseaudio becomes useless. If I'm correct about this, can someone put this info on the perfectsetup wiki page? When Mandriva 2008.1 comes out I'm afraid I'll have to disable pulseaudio just because of skype. Pulseaudio people should pressure the skype developers to work with pulseaudio. Skype is for me (and a lot of other linux users) a must have application (Ekiga is not a viable alternative: last I used it, it crashed everytime with connection to Ekiga_win32).
