If I remember well they were related to the fact that Skype 1.4 requires linux kernel 2.6 which is still not officially supported by FreeBSD linux compatibility layer. The output "problem with audio playback" was related to that issue if I remember. I think the easiest solution is to downgrade the port and use 1.2 for now but there was a way to get 1.4 working properly. Now I am not sure if you are running AMD version of I-386. I run I-386 and the above information might not be all you need to get Skype working on AMD version. Again I think I saw people talking about issues on AMD but I disregard those messages. Poka Predrag
