It is well known that skype is one of the best voip solution ,altough this software has it`s darkside ,like the ultra closed srouce concept ,they don`t even let you run a debugger while using skype ,this may be cause of the dirty code implemented in skype ,like making big conferences not work with amd cpus.Another thing is that they extremly abused the linux sound api by not letting the user use alsa instead of the legacy oss sound arhitecture.But it looks like this company may be starting to clean up it`s act ,because they released skype 1.3 beta ,wich has alsa support and other bugfixes for linux.I strongly recomend all linux users who use skype ,to upgrade to this beta ,I tried it and it works smoothly.
