So I've been doing some more testing and I think this must be a timer
issue. The logic is that when I record my voice, the timing looks
strange - a 10 second recording will be shown as 5 seconds (and played
back that way).
Can anyone point me towards a good explanation of ALSA timers and how
to configure them? I have been looking around but can't find one.

Hello all
I've been trying to fix this for months on and off and have had no
luck. I'm afraid it's Skype-related, but I hope there is some general
interest.
My problem is that usually, when I record from my USB webcam
microphone (a creative Live! USB cam), the pitch is shifted upwards so
I sound like on helium.
But, sometimes, this doesn't happen. I can't identify the difference.
Can anyone suggest what I should be looking for? I tried grepping
/sys/snd*/parameters and comparing them for when the mike works and
when it doesn't; they are identical.
My kernel is 2.6.17-12; Alsa version 1.0.17; a generic Ubuntu Intrepid
setup, using PulseAudio.
Cheers
David
