It appears that the Skype binary is self modifying and takes extensive measures to make sure it is not being run in a debugger or emulator. This almost certainly would eliminate any LD_PRELOAD hacks from working. http://www.secdev.org/conf/skype_BHEU06.handout.pdf [^] I believe the only solution to get Skype working with dmix etc. is for the Skype developers to add proper native ALSA support.
