I think that this is a well known and still unresolved issue. As far as I know nobody has been able to get a microphone working with any non-OSS version of Skype via ALSA emulation. That's exactly the reason why I started looking at PulseAudio. Not sure if it's worth debugging alsalib input issue further. It's open source after all, so a determined person with proper test environment could go to far length. But I am sticking to pulseaudio for time being. BTW, to update on the link that you quoted: - the kernel patches are already in head and stable/[78] - libasyncns in the ports - pulseaudio-libs is in the PR db - for pulse communication via local sockets one has to create an additional link in ~/.pulse directory: "${hostname}:runtime" which should point to the same location as "${hostname}-runtime" created by native pulseaudio daemon. This is because of different pulseaudio versions. - input and output sources have to be set via pulseaudio config, e.g.: default-sink = oss_output.dsp4 default-source = oss_input.dsp1 in client.conf. -- Andriy Gapon
