Thanks for the hint. Skype 1.2 did not work with 10.1. It said that the sound device was busy. Starting it with "artsdsp" also did not work. The 1.3 beta works without any problem, starting normally.
Skype 1.2 didn't uspport alsa, and used the OSS interface. As far as I know it also started arts if it wasn't running already, and as you might know, arts is no good for anything.
Skype 1.3 supports alsa natively - works a heck of a lot better just about everywhere I've tried it.

I've been happily using Skype 1.2.0.18 with openSUSE 10.1. No serious problems with my HW+SW configuration. Thanks for the piece of advice anyway, think I'll give 1.3 a try. Cheers, -mw
