As I already wrote above: I have installed skype-2.0.0.72,1 from ports. It does support OSS. The missing microphone function is not a Skype problem, it's a driver problem. I do not even get a device node for the webcam's microphone, according to /dev/sndstat. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
