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
  }

} `
