Confirmed. Skype does not work at all on Ubuntu 8.04, and no matter how i configure its sound device, it doesn't work. 'padsp' doesn't change anything, either.

While this might be Skype's fault, it seems that Pulseaudio has existed for at least a year now, and at least for a year there have been complaints about Skype+PA not working, all over the web. I'm not sure if PA should be included in a stable release. I have no idea how i'm supposed to make Skype phonecalls now - downgrade to 7.10? I'd rather not, especially since this is supposed to become an LTS (read: extremely stable) release.
