Hi,

I am trying to get skype_static-1.4.0.118-oss
from /usr/pkgsrc/wip/skype to work on an i386 NetBSD machine, a
Thinkpad X20 running 4.0_RC3.

This version of skype seems to have the sound device
hard-coded /dev/dsp, so I created a link:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11 Nov 10 13:43 /dev/dsp -> /dev/audio0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  42, 128 Nov 14 18:57 /dev/audio0

When I try to make a call with Skype, I get the message "Call Failed:
Problem with Audio Capture". 

Note that I am running as root, to eliminate permission problems.

I used mixerctl to try and unmute everything, but no luck.

Any suggestions for a way forward?
