[LAU] Music - Skype and idjc on 64-bit

[Norval Watson]

Hi Rick,
Thanks for quick reply!
I tried your method (below) but got the same error message about not finding the shared object

ALSA lib pcm.c:2106:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so

This happens whether JACK is running or not.
The problem seems to be triggered by using the .asoundrc file, when I delete that and restart skype in standalone mode its ok.
I suspect its 64-bit related and I'm missing a link of some sort...?

Thanks again
Norv

or 
not. 
Also, 
you
dont 
need 
idjc 
to 
play 
music 
over 
skype. 
You 
can 
create 
your 
own 
PCM
device 
in 
.asoundrc 
to 
use 
the 
jack 
plugin, 
and 
configure 
skype 
to 
use
that 
device. 
Then 
in 
qjackctl 
you 
can 
connect 
the 
relevant 
capture
ports 
to 
the 
skype 
PCM 
playback 
ports.

Here's 
my 
skype 
section 
of 
.asoundrc:

pcm.skype 
{
  
 
type 
plug
  
 
slave 
{
  
  
 
pcm 
"configvoip"
  
 
}
}

pcm.configvoip 
{
  
  
type 
jack
  
  
playback_ports 
{
  
  
  
0 
alsa_pcm:playback_1
  
  
  
1 
alsa_pcm:playback_2
  
  
}
  
  
capture_ports 
{
  
  
  
0 
alsa_pcm:capture_1
  
  
  
1 
alsa_pcm:capture_1
  
  
}
}

I 
simply 
use 
the 
"skype" 
device 
in 
skype 
sound 
device 
config."
