Wow, I thought Skype had forgotten about us - and left us with a bug ridden app... There are some changes to the audio configuration control panel. I haven't made a call yet but let's hope they've sorted out the sound issues for good *Ubuntu / Debian users can get the update automatically if you have enabled the Skype repository
It updated earlier today and didn't notice! Seems to be much more stable than the last beta I tried... at least so far. The Linux version of the client is under-developed for certain. Oh well, at least we have one I suppose.
