[orca-list] Important/OT for Skype-users

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I am in a hurry needing to make a skype call so I've not had the  time to try and verify exactly what's going 
on, but 
latest skype for LInux, 4.3.something, doesn't work for me using skype on a pure alsa arch-linux system. I do 
not think 
this will effect pulse audio using systems, but this is just a hunch so far. Actually some have reported good 
results on 
Ubuntu and Vinux, so there's at least some basis to this theory.
Anyway, I had no sound at all with latest skype, no log-in sound, and when trying to replay voice mail using 
a helper 
program was sent back to my prompt. A test call was also completely silent. 
Just wanted to save anyone from heart break in case it's hard for them to get a copy of the old release. It's 
around for 
sure, but perhaps for some distros it's hard to get skype 4.2. I hope I can resolve this and get skype to be 
seen by orca, 
but so far so bad on that score for me on arch64bit.
Looking forward to trying skype4.3 on Vinux very soon. 
If anyone knows of some flag to pass to skype or other solution for these issues, please post. 
I've tried putting the 32bit version of the qt-atspi file in place of the 64bit version in /usr/lib or maybe 
it was lib32, 
but no help. Sorry for not giving exact paths and filenames there, but hopefully  what I wrote gives a little 
idea of what 
I did try.
