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 am afraid these Skype+aoss problems may be unfixable from the ALSA side. 
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.

I believe the only solution to get Skype working with dmix etc. is for the
Skype developers to add proper native ALSA support.
