So pulseaudio becomes useless. I found this additional info in the skype forums: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=112021&hl=pulseaudio Andypoo, a Skype staff member, gives some info about the problem. And someone found a solution to let pulseaudio and skype work together (by making PulseAudio support dmix): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4526841#post4526841 But he notes this though:"PulseAudio's module-suspend-idle has a bug when you get PulseAudio to use dmix. Some assertion failure while starting up. If you don't kill PulseAudio once it has managed to start up though, it should be quite stable. But getting it to even start up is a hit or miss for me. The quick fix is of course to not load module-suspend-idle, but on my system, dmix begins crackling if it isn't released after a very long period of time." ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
