Re: skype Failed: "Problem with Audio Plaback"

Anyone using skype?

Newer versions of skype require a Linux 2.6 kernel with updated libraries for audio to work.

cube@ and I made some progress against skype 2.0, to the point where audio would sometimes work, but our NPTL emulation is still incomplete so it was quite crash-happy.

It appears to require a few things:

  1. Newer libraries (I created a fedora-6 package for this).
  2. The kernel needs to report itself as Linux 2.6.18 or so.
  3. Bunch of new emulated syscalls in COMPAT_LINUX.

Cheers,
Jared
