[pulseaudio-discuss] F*** skype

[Weedy]

So after my last email I changed the way emerge/gcc compiles
pulse/alsa to use MINIMAL flags (not even -march=native) and nothing
crashes anymore.

The last thorn in my side is skype. When skype starts it's loging
sound seems to get stuck somewhere and never plays. Event sounds like
messages sent/received seem to corrupt some buffer somewhere and never
stop playing. During calls my USB mic will die and I have to switch to
a hardwired mic. If skype starts when I don't have another stream
running (mpd native pulse, or say youtube over alsa plugin) all
sounds/sources will have constant pops and crackles until I close
skype and any other sources and start it after.

Thank you for your time.
