No!!! That's exactly the wrong approach, it will only encourage

Why don't you ask the Skype developers when they plan to support ALSA?
Or figure out why it crashes with aoss?

So it seems
that the only choice for skype users is to use the ALSA

It was in response to problems such as these that I began work on a
half-kernel, half-userspace system for emulating OSS devices. It's been
a while since I've done anything with it but if there's any interest in
such a system I could put my code (such as it is) up for download.
