You are basically correct on all points, except that unfortunately skype does not seem to work with libaoss (it crashes), so can't be used with dmix. This is probably a bug in libaoss, but we don't have a usable bug report, so nothing can be done about it. So it seems that the only choice for skype users is to use the ALSA in-kernel OSS emulation which will block other apps. Lee
