[LAU] Skype won't work though JACK plugin

Hi list, Redirecting the ALSA default device to JACK seems to be well-traveled territory,[1,2] nevertheless, I'm not getting all the behaviors I'd like. Flash works, but Skype doesn't, and surprisingly Ecasound doesn't do well either (an interesting data point although hardly a problem.) Perhaps Skype is trying to work via /dev/dsp? I'm curious if anyone else is getting better results. Here are my test results: aplay test.wav # plays! aplay -D default test.wav # plays! mplayer -ao alsa:default test.wav # plays! mplayer -ao alsa test.wav # plays! ecasound -i test.wav -o alsa # weird noise after several seconds delay ecasound -i test.wav -o alsa,default # weird noise after several seconds delay Flash/Firefox # plays! skype # "problem with audio playback" I'm running JACK like this: jackd -d alsa -d hw:0,0 -r 44100 -H And I'm using this asoundrc: pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "jack" } } pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 system:playback_1 1 system:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 system:capture_1 1 system:capture_2 } } Regards, Joel -- Joel Roth
