Hi,
I'm running an install from exegnu-jessv-20141125 on a recent
ThinkPad. Amarok when starting complains:
xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers.
Haven't found anything satisfactory in searching, but the problem goes
back at least to KDE3.
BTW, VCL works okay, after I select the mixer. Maybe it uses different drivers.

Got alsa - xine - kmix - amarok working okay, by making sure that
basic Trinity packages are installed.
Now trying to get sound in Skype. A search showed that newer Skype
requires PulseAudio and recommended installing pavucontrol. Compiling
from source required installing several dependencies. Dbus strongly
recommended, but it has broken dependencies. Still no sound. I
wonder if it all requires systemd.
In which case, are there any usable Skype alternatives?
