Good. Disagreement makes the world go round.

I think this is a slightly different issue. Getting two soundcards to
run and play nice with different applications is a general linux audio
question. 

I'm more targetting questions like: "Skype doesn't make any sound,
what can I do?" The only answer we can give is: "Does aplay work? Yes?
Then you may contact the upstream authors of Skype, and tell them to
fix their bugs or better yet use a free software to deliver your free
speech through the net."
