net-im/skype requiring old ALSA (backward compatible) pkg ?

[Etienne Robillard]

Hi

trying to make net-im/skype works on 8.3-STABLE,

got the following once I enter my login/pass:

/usr/local/share/skype/skype: relocation error: 
/usr/local/share/skype/skype: symbol snd_device_name_hint, version 
ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference

however all the Linux ports seems freshly updated and linux.ko module is 
loaded as well. Should this mean the linux-alsa-lib port require 
updating to support the older (now deprecated) ALSA API ?

Alternatively is there a way to get skype network thru another protocol 
like Jabber ?

Cheers,

Etienne
