I've been experiencing a "strange sound problem" with skype. I don't get
any audible alerts when I have incoming calls or chat messages. The
device is correctly defined (/dev/dsp), the sound files are installed in
/usr/X11R6/share/skype/sound, yet they don't seem to get played. The
voice calls work great though.
Cheers,
