youtube/flash works. messanger should work and I think has worked for a while. (pidgin does that, right?) pendrives work (if you set your groups up correctly). skype...I dunno... I'm assuming you just need local mic and sound so I don't see why not, but I've never really used skype. webcams I don't know about, but I'm sure it would be possible to hack something together to make this work, otherwise you could maybe run whatever webcam app as a local app...
Pulse works really well. Local devices are a little strange if you're used to the *nix way of dealing with devices (async fs, mount/unmount), but definitely work. So webcam and skype are a big ?, but I assume in a worst case these could be run locally... Anyone else know about the things I don't?
