You are basically correct on all points, except that unfortunately skype
does not seem to work with libaoss (it crashes), so can't be used with
dmix.  This is probably a bug in libaoss, but we don't have a usable bug
report, so nothing can be done about it.

So it seems that the only choice for skype users is to use the ALSA
in-kernel OSS emulation which will block other apps.
