    Hello,
    i have instaled Skype on Debian Gnu/Linux. I run it from command line,
    so, that i can see the error messages. When i try to make a call. I
    can't hear any sound and i can see on command line:
    $ skype
    read error, res = -1 , handle = 30
    /dev/dsp-1: Device or resource busy
    /dev/dsp-1: Device or resource busy
    /dev/dsp-1: Device or resource busy
    /dev/dsp-1: Device or resource busy
    /dev/dsp-1: Device or resource busy
    /dev/dsp-1: Device or resource busy
    /dev/dsp-1: Device or resource busy

    so i tried as a root:
    # ls -l /dev/dsp
    crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2005-04-29 23:21 /dev/dsp
    # chmod 666 /dev/dsp
    # ls -l /dev/dsp
    crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 3 2005-04-29 23:21 /dev/dsp
    #

    and again i tried make a call. This time i could hear ringing tone, but
    nothing else and i could see:
    $ skype
    read error, res = -1 , handle = 28
    $

    Is it neseserry for user to have r/w access to /dev/dsp? And if yeas how
    to make it permanent, becouse after reboot seetting are again:
    # ls -l /dev/dsp
    crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2005-04-29 23:21 /dev/dsp
    #
    What about "read error, res = -1 , handle = 28"? I could see on internet
    peaple having the same error, but i didn't find solution for me.

    Thanks in advance.
