I blogged about this a while back and have been trying to help the Skype devs get their PA support working nicely. Sadly due to a deadline we couldn't fix the problem with AGC for their final release so it will not work with PA for this release but I believe the box will be disabled for the PA backend, so you wont have to do anything manually come final release. Also, as Skype calls are (or will be) tagged as "phone", when you turn on your Bluetooth headset mid call, it will automcatially switch the Skype streams to your headset for you via the module-intended-roles module that is loaded by default. http://colin.guthr.ie/2009/08/skype-pulse-goodness/ Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
