Skype is a voice call and videoconferencing tool. Using the default PulseAudio source makes perfect sense there. First time, it will get the default microphone. Next time, it will get the source that it had the previous time if available. All is good for Skype. If the user selects desktop recording, this does not work. -- R?mi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/
