Hi,

   I would like to know if anyone has had any success using Skype with a 
usb headset (/dev/dsp4).

   I have set Skype to use /dev/dsp4 but it does not work correctly. 
When I try to use the "Skype Test Call", I can hear the phone ringing. 
However, I can't hear a thing once the other side answers the phone. It 
is all silent although Skype says the call is working.

   The headset seems to be correct since I can hear music when I try it 
with mplayer

$ mplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp4 some.mp3

   Any ideas?
