Hi
I'm trying to get skype sound to work but apparently the monkeys at MS removed alsa support and replaced it with pulse, which is rubbish. Even though I have pulse enable (pclos - ali's remaster), it still doesn't show up. Is there a fix to re-enable alsa or the like?
You may want to look into apulse, if it's packaged for your distro (or you're willing to do extra work just to kick pulseaudio to the curb):
https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse
It's a pulseaudio emulator for ALSA, and Gentoo lists it as a valid alternative for use with Skype.
