OK... I just tried this and can't seem to get it on my own. Looking for a little help.

I have WoW working in Wine just fine using openGL.

I have a friend who got tired of Halo and has gottn WoW. He runs on a windows machine and wanted to be able to talk while we played.

I installed Skype. He installed Skype. Skype works fine.... by itself.

If I have WoW running... Skype has a "Problem with sound device".
I've tried changinf Skype to use OSS instead of also and then start Skype using aoss skype and that didn't help.

I am pretty sure it's a sharing issue. The sound system isn't playing nice with 2 apps at the same time. I just don't know how to track this down. Hints and clues are much appreciated.

OR.... is there an easier way. Something that just works.

I run 6.10 Edgy.

Thanks

Are you using the newesest Linux beta of Skype? Check your version. I'm using 1.3.0.50 and Skype is working with several sound sources for the most time for me.
