On the beta version of 7.04 the workaround I mentioned before is now working fine with skype and the "recording level monitor". (Ekiga works fine without any problem and without any need of modifying ".asoundrc").
I'm still not able to record sounds with the "sound recorder" tool. -- logitech usb microphone doesn't work properly https://launchpad.net/bugs/90249 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
