Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I was trying out Skype 2.1.0.47 on Ubuntu Karmic (up to date as of today, 1st Sept 2009), but trying a test call did not work, and pulseaudio crashed. The problem seems to happen every time I try.
I expected to be able to hear a voice on the test call, and then record and hear my own voice as is usual with Skype test calls.
What happened was I heard the noise that indicates a call is starting, but the test call voice never appeared. After that Skype would not respond to me asking it to quit (via the GUI), I had to pkill -3 skype to kill it.
This is the last few lines of the log of pulseaudio -vv (which is attached in full):
D: module-
D: protocol-native.c: Client skype changes volume of sink alsa_output.
E: source.c: Assertion 'pa_cvolume_
Aborted (core dumped)
Here is some information on my system:

WORKAROUND:
Disabling "Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels" in the "Sound Devices" tab of the options screen in Skype causes calls to work again. Pulseaudio does not crash.
