[clug-talk] Skype and sound

[Dick Angus]

I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 on a brand new i7-920 with an nVidia graphics card 
and Intel, built-in sound. It's a brand new install (yesterday).

PulseAudio - 0.9.15
Skype - 2.1.0.47
Logitech Pro9000 camera with built-in microphone

I just can't get the audio to work. I've followed so many suggestions I can't 
remember what the original setting was. Skype offers only PulseAudio as devices 
in this new version. Video works, notifications work, and sound in/out does 
not. If I try a test call I hear the connecting notification sound, then it 
runs for about 35 seconds and Skype aborts. If run in a terminal I get:

E: pstream-util.c: Assertion 'p' failed at pulsecore/pstream-util.c:36, 
function pa_pstream_send_tagstruct_with_creds(). Aborting.

On my old computer (still Kubuntu 9.04 but an older version of Skype and no 
PulseAudio) it worked great. Amarok and various video formats work well.

Any suggestions? - I've tried about 10 or 15 different suggestions from various 
forums.
