I have also not working
video works with a version of Skype 2.1.0.81
Which FreeBSD version and arch was this on, and does your camera
need the Linux libv4l?

pulseaudio does not work with Skype version 2.2.0.25 and 2.1.0.81
my system is missing device /dev/dsp4
Well you need to replace /dev/dsp4 with whatever dsp device your
mic
is on, sorry if that was not obvious. :) And if it's an internal
mic
on a webcam you probably also need to kldload snd_uaudio, and if
then
it still doesn't work you may need a patch too:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-April/011931.html
which is part of this PR:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=152622&sourceid=opensearch
I was not able to configure pulseaudio for Skype to work with an
external microphone...
The second link you quoted is about how I got it to work:

Good luck! :)

Does this mean that patches and ports are on the way to make the
latest
Skype work on FreeBSD?
Well, audio yes, video I'm still wondering if we'll find the problem,
so far video only works for `some' people and I need more testers:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-April/011992.html
The previous version that is still available here,
http://download.skype.com/linux/skype_static-2.1.0.81.tar.bz2
we do have working tho.
Juergen
To be honest, audio is what I need in Skype as I rely on Skype for my
work. I don't have a web cam or I would offer to test that. I would be
interested in suggestions on what models do work with FreeBSD though.
