Yair:

Thanks for the tip to skype-static-oss -- it works now!! I will need to do
more tweaking to ensure that everything is working properly, but that was
the trick that let me drop the ridiculous layering of sound applications and
use the virtual /dev/dsp.

Thanks to everyone for your help -- I really appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Saketh
