No running artsd or esd found Starting skype without sound daemonThere are arts and esd USE flags for skype. Where do these sound daemons come in?
If they had been started already, skype would have been started "wrapped" by artdsp (this is what happens for arts, at least). When no sound daemon is found (running) then skype accesses /dev/dsp directly (thus blocking the sound card and preventing any other concurrent access to it!)
