Luke, What exactly can't you reproduce? What I found is that Hardy's libasound2 and libasound2-plugins packages seem buggy, so I tried Debian unstable's version and they worked. It seems Intrepid has already synced these packages, so you can grab from there as well.
I installed Skype from the Medibuntu repository, and it's the regular ALSA version. It seems if it is configured to use the "default" device via Skype's Options/Sound Devices it may not work, but sound definitely works when configured to use the "pulse" device. Using Hardy's libasound2* packages causes Skype (and other applications that use the ALSA pulse plugin) to crash, but Debian/Intrepid's don't crash. -- Default ALSA device must use PulseAudio, otherwise ALSA applications may fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198453 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
