Josh, thank you for the perfect illustration of the upstream PulseAudio team position.
I repeat: there's NOTHING WRONG with Skype, aplay, oolite and any other application that relies on ALSA. They work with ALSA, they work in any other distribution, they worked well in Gutsy, so having to "fix" them to work in Hardy is actually a REGRESSION BUG in Hardy itself. This is what the upstream Skype team says, and in my opinion, they are perfectly right.
With Skype team saying that Skype is not broken so PA should be fixed (and they're right) and PulseAudio team saying that Skype is broken and should be fixed(they're perfectly wrong, but Ubuntu team seems to share their opinion) we are never going to have all the applications (including old games etc.) working in Ubuntu ever again.
