Agreed.

Well, for a fact I have NDI if aplay works here or not, never tried it.  
Does it do anything special that xmms or mplayer, tvtime, or skype 
can't do?

As for contacting skype's authors, I assume its in the help menu.  Never 
felt the need to other than haveing to use skype_dsp_hijacker to run 
it.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word

stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
