Skype

A VOIP application.

Problems

Your own voice sounds distorted/slow to others

Thats because Skype fails to init the microphone properly. A workaround is to define a capture device with correct values. 

pcm.skypedsnoop {
   type dsnoop
   ipc_key 1133
   slave {
      # "Magic" buffer values to get skype audio to work
      # If these are not set, opening /dev/dsp succeeds but no sound
      # will be heard. According to the ALSA developers this is due
      # to skype abusing the OSS API.
      pcm "hw:0,0"
      period_size 256
      periods 16
      buffer_size 16384
   }
   bindings {
      0 0
   }
}

Note the line 'pcm "hw:0,0"' defines the sound card and its component to use. It should work of the box, but if you wish to choose a different sound card, adjust that line according to your system.

RESTART Skype

Otherwise the newly defined microphone capture device would not be found.
