Summary: Skype Does not work with aoss
Description:
I downloaded alsa-oss-1.0.9rc2 and install by
# ./configure --with-aoss=yes && make && make install
as root. Virtually every program works except skype
(http://www.skype.com/) version 1.1.0.13_API. I downloaded the Fedora
version of skype from the skype official website. Skype only uses
/dev/dsp. I guess skype uses /dev/dsp as microphone input as well. I could
not hear anything and the microphone did not work as well if I run skype
like aoss /usr/bin/skype. If I run skype without aoss, then skype works
just fine.

I can confirm that there still exists a problem with the newest Skype
version 1.2.0.11_API.

'aoss skype' results in a segmentation fault
Other programs does not segfault.

I run debian sarge and alsa-oss 1.0.9
