Hi Marcel,

thank you for your answer. I need Skype because all my friends use Skype. It's right that SIP is the VOIP Standard, but my friends use Skype and under Windows it works perfectly. I want to kick windows from my hdd in near future. The OSS-Version of Skype works perfectly with my internal sound card not the alsa-version. Unfortunately i dont' know how to use the oss- version with bluez. The .asoundrc can emulate a dsp device but i do not understand the use of this file. The alsa wiki describes with examples the use of .asoundrc but i cannot adopt these examples to bluez. It's too strange for me. Mplayer runs fine with bluez and my headset but 8 khz sound is not really hifi :-) I have read in some linux lists that the old btso kernel driver works fine with skype but i don't want to use an obsolete driver. Therefore it should somehow be possible to use it with the current version of bluez. I have tested kphone which is a sip-phone. Also kphone doesn' t work with my headset. I spent many hours to make a call with my headset until my wife asked me if i was totally crazy. She started windows and in 5 minutes she could speak to friends with this headset and skype. It was a disgrace :-(


Regards
Frank

that Skype sends voice of the Internet doesn't makes it legit to call it
VoIP. The VoIP is classically SIP, which is RFC 3261. If you tell me the
RFC number that Skype uses for their protocol, then we can talk about
it. Otherwise it is some vendor bullsh*.
