skype.com (The static with QT compiled in) but was also upset to
find that I could not call or receive calls from anyone. I am
using the linux_base-8, if someone could tell me how I can start
calling people it would be very useful, I have read maybe 2
articles about this on google and both tell me to install ports
that no longer exist.

That's because OSS by itself doesn't support more than one channel
at a
time. You need to support virtual channels (a FreeBSD only feature
AFAIK) by entering in the following lines in /etc/sysctl.conf:
hw.snd.maxautovchans = 20 # Adjust to fit the number of simultaneous
sound channels you want enabled at once.

I don't think that multiple sound channels are the problem. You see,
in the port,
there is only one sound device I can choose, even though my headset
outputs to
/dev/dsp and gets input from /dev/dsp1, so that I can only talk or
hear, not both at
the same time. The linux build will not even let me call anyone or
recieve calls,
not even the call testing service.
Please feel free to tell me any thing that you think might help.

Yes, it's most likely the problem if you can't play multiple audio
sources at once.
Just please try my suggestion before saying it's not possible.
