nope, I meant something else: while Skype was idly 
running (not in call), Ekiga was not able to produce 
any sound when I was trying to make a call with it. 
I understand this is the same problem Judith 
has now. It looked like Skype locked the sound 
device but I did not have a closer look (and as I
say, I cannot reproduce the problem anymore).

I understand Judith has the same problem as I
mentioned above...

A soundcard with hardware mixing could be another 
HW-based solution. Many cheap second-hand pieces 
are around.
