I would first like to say sorry Garret, my previous questions were not in good
detail.
FREEBSD 6.0 STABLE
Using the linux_base-8 port.
-->I am using a USB headset, but have also tried one that plugs directly into my microphone and speaker slots on my computer. Now, since my USB headsetwill input sound from one device, and output from another, I am in a little problem. here is a picture of the options for headset in the skype port:

As you can see, there is only one device I can use for my headset,
(there is supposed to be a program called DSP highjacker for this,
but I would think that there would be a better way.) Now, I downloaded
the Linux static binary with QT compiled in from the skype website
(www.skype.com) and tried it on my computer, if I go into the options in
that one, I see this:

You may want to know why I am even writing this if I can just use the
Linux
Skype, well, I am writing this because the Linux build will not let me call
anyone:

It will just keep saying connecting, and nothing ever happens, I can
however see who is online at the moment:

So, my question is, how can I either make the Skype port let me use
two devices
or, allow the Linux Skype to let me call people and receive calls.
I think that about sums it up.
Thank you.
