I tested Flash and Skype4. For flash, it works. Video and audio playback both work. For skype4, it works. Video capture, audio playback and audio recording work. By the way, I found that I need to modify the oss config file for audio to work: I need to change pcm.oss and ctl.oss to pcm.!default and oss.!default. Else, aplay -D oss <file> works, but aplay <file> does not work. Because my headphone corresponds to /dev/dsp1 and my internal speaker & microphone corresponds to /dev/dsp0, and my default sound unit is 1, I have to add another section into asound.conf for recording to work: pcm.internal { type oss device /dev/dsp0 hint { description "Open Sound System (internal)" } } ctl.internal { type oss device /dev/mixer0 hint { description "Open Sound System (internal)" } } And select "Open Sound System (internal)" in skype for recording. Hope this helps. > Johannes > > -- > xmj@chaot.net > http://xmj.me > -- Cheers, Henry
