Music when ending call in Skype

l0p3n · 01-13-2014, 07:31 AM

Hello,

After ending a call on Skype I could hear music playing in the background (Gipsy King). My first thought was that the one I called forgot to hang up the phone and continued to listen to their music. I called them again and asked them if they were listening to any music, as I could hear a tune of Gipsy King playing in the background. They told me they weren't listening to any music.

Is this a new feature in Skype that plays music once a call ends?

P.s. I am not trolling.

What version of Skype are you using? I'm using 4.2.0.11 and there is no music before, during or after any Skype call. Do you have a copy of "Gypsy King" on your system?

Could be local radio station bleed over that you have never noticed before.

I am using version 4.2.0.11.

Strangely enough, I have a CD with that song somewhere, but I have never transferred the audio of the CD to my computer. I've also made a few searches with the find command but I can't find any file related to Gipsy King on my computer.

I don't know if it is related but I've been getting some strange pulse audio error/warning messages lately. sudo grep pulse /var/log/* gives me (among other things):

Code:

- /var/log/daemon.log:Jan 13 13:34:49 debian rtkit-daemon[4900]: Successfully made thread 5232 of process 4898 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '1000' RT at priority 5.

I know it's impossible to know for sure, since the Skype protocol is proprietary, but could it be that my stream (call) was redirected to another Skype stream?

Even if the music stopped once I had closed the call?
