Skype has released a new version for Linux with ALSA support built-in, which allows it to run even with other sound applications. Hurray!
However, it is important to note that the original HOWTO I wrote on recording Skype conversations won’t work with the new version. So I’ve added a set of updated instructions that you can find in the original post here. Those should get you up and recording again. :D
Happy Skype-ing!

Not everyone has use for this kind of feature, but I use it almost every day for a wide variety of uses. For example, I can check on a lengthy compilation process, test a theory using a one of the applications native to my Linux system, or to bypass a corporate internet filter when it has mistakenly blacklisted a site I need to access for code reference.

I haven’t posted in a few days, in part because I’ve been pretty busy, and partly because I’ve been overhauling my system with a brand new Linux distribution.
I’m now running Gentoo and I absolutely love it.
