[skype] apulse - PulseAudio emulation for ALSA ...

Re: [skype] apulse - PulseAudio emulation for ALSA. I just tested a git checkout of apulse, with skype (with pulseaudio completely removed): Edit: The microphone needs capture.pcm "dsnoop", rather than capture.pcm "hw:0", then everything works in a test Skype call.

Restart Skype. Setting up ALSA. To use ALSA with Skype: Make sure that you have disabled PulseAudio. Sign in to Skype and select Main Menu > Options > Sound Devices. Your devices are set to the system defaults, which should be fine for Skype to work correctly. To change these settings, click a drop-down list and select another device.

It's a shame that I cannot use an ALSA only setup because on my system Pulseaudio has a lot of problems and that's why I don't use it and I don't want to enable it just for skype. Thanks This thread is locked.

This is a public service announcement for packagers and users of Skype and PulseAudio 4.0. In PulseAudio 4.0, we added some code to allow us to deal with automatic latency adjustment more gracefully, particularly for latency requests under ~80 ms.
Skype 4.3 without PulseAudio, only ALSA. Any options?

Answer #1: You can try using apulse: it is minimalistic pulseaudio emulator made specifically to run Skype 4.3 with ALSA. You need 32-bit build even on 64-bit machine. I personally had troubles with microphone on Ubuntu 14.04, but for most people it works fine.
