But I see a problem with skype's b0rken encryption (they seem to use the same
RC4 sequence twice, with a lot of known plain text bytes in the first
run, so hacking this is straight forward) and the possibility for others
to make their computer a supernode which might route my call if I am
behind a firewall.

Well, I don't see a problem with that, Skype is a P2P app - of course
it's a client and a server. This give me hope. Maybe proprietary technology
IS inherently inferior!
Dunno, but, the IT-personell of my local university banned Skype after
they discovered it turns itself into a server if it detects good enough
bandwith after some time online. This server is then used to distribute
other people's calls. In other words, it uses your bandwidth for it's
own business without telling you.
I'd just like to know if one person has it working with the emu10k1
driver.
Sorry for not answering your question either.
