Re: microphone only works for first skype call under fc6

The microphone doesn't work the second time I place a call in a Skype session. If I exit skype and
restart it, it works for one call again. Has anybody else seen this problem? The weird thing is that the
same exact skype executable works fine from the Ubuntu live CD (I mounted my fc6 home directory
from Ubuntu and ran the skype executable).

Can be some problem with Alsa, kernel or libs I guess. Use
lsof -n | grep /dev/snd
to see if anything has ahold of the Alsa devices. Also run
dmesg
to see if there's any mention of troubles.

lsof -n | grep /dev/snd

Returns this:
skype 7631 dl mem CHR 116,4 4624 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
skype 7631 dl mem CHR 116,5 4649 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
skype 7631 dl 22u CHR 116,6 4620 /dev/snd/controlC0
skype 7631 dl 23u CHR 116,6 4620 /dev/snd/controlC0
skype 7631 dl 24r CHR 116,2 3838 /dev/snd/timer
skype 7631 dl 25u CHR 116,4 4624 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
skype 7631 dl 26u CHR 116,6 4620 /dev/snd/controlC0
skype 7631 dl 27r CHR 116,2 3838 /dev/snd/timer
skype 7631 dl 28u CHR 116,5 4649 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c

Between skype calls, it prints nothing. I don't see any differences between the printouts on the first and second call. Except one time, it looked like artsd had opened some stuff, but that wasn't reproduceable.

dmesg didn't show anything related to sound as far as I could tell.

Thanks,
David
