You're right, I see that message also - but it's a false alarm.
skype-poll-fix is definitely taking effect, I see it in "top" - 2.3% CPU usage without, and 0.3% with. It's because apulse is a script, calling /bin/sh, which is 64-bit :) The solution is to remove the additional call of /bin/sh, and just run the 32-bit skype, e.g.: Code:
PATH="/usr/bin32:$PATH" LD_PRELOAD=/usr/share/skype/skype-poll-fix.so MIN_POLL=100 SET_POLL=250 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH} skype |

I indeed followed similar steps to the ones you gave and it does work. But I also experience failures as an earlier poster seemed to report : if I make a call just after starting Skype with apulse, it works OK. But if I minimize Skype, do other stuff for a while (possibly using sound like watching a movie) then Skype seems to fail somehow. I can still open the GUI, check the menus, open the options and browse my contacts. But if I try to make a call, it basically hangs, I have to kill it with -9. I cannot receive any call either, they're not even detected. I guess I should probably try the Slackbuilt with included minimal pulseaudio but I prefered this approach. Or try something like Linphone. EDIT : I get the following message on the console after watching a film : Quote:

OK, I think I found the solution.
Instead of running Skype like this : Code:
APULSE_CAPTURE_DEVICE="hw:2,0" APULSE_PLAYBACK_DEVICE="hw:1,0" apulse skype Code:
APULSE_CAPTURE_DEVICE="hw:2,0" APULSE_PLAYBACK_DEVICE="plug:'dmix'" apulse skype Now Skype can play sound while a Flash video is running in Firefox, so I guess I should not have any more issue (cross fingers). |

Can anyone confirm this? |
After upgrading to Slackware 14.1, "apulse skype" produces sound but I can't get the mike to work.

Didier, pulseaudio might be a runtime dependency for this program... No ?

It is likely that alsa doesn't look at the correct hardware for the microphone. This can be fixed in the way rvdboom did above or by setting up /etc/asound.conf. The config file that works for me with a logitech webcam is below, with the correct channels found using "aplay -l" Code:
# make sure the USB microphone is picked up |
An ALSA config which uses dmix (and dsnoop) would be better, for sharing the sound with multiple apps ;)
