When I use skype (version 2.xx) with alsa-lib-1.0.15 installed there is no problem. When I upgrade alsa-lib to the 1.0.16 version, sound is no longer working in skype, and I get many of the following messages in the shell: ALSA lib pcm.c:6617:(snd_pcm_slave_conf) unknown format unchanged. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge alsa-lib-1.0.16 2.launch skype and try to make a call (to the Sound test service for example) Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.2.3, glibc-2.7-r1, 2.6.24-tuxonice x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-tuxonice x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz Timestamp of tree: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 15:46:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.5 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r5 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.24 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/4.0/env /usr/kde/4.0/share/config /usr/kde/4.0/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://cdot.senecac.on.ca/software/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/" INSTALL_MASK="/media" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/kde /usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects /usr/portage/local/layman/openrc /usr/portage/local/layman/mozilla" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa amd64 berkdb caps cli cracklib crypt dbus doc dri emacs examples fortran gdbm gpm hal iconv isdnlog jpeg kde kdeenablefinal latex lm_sensors midi mmx mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia opengl openmp pam pcre perl png pppd python qt qt4 readline reflection session spl sse sse2 ssl tcpd tetex threads truetype unicode v4l v4l2 xcomposite xinerama xorg xv xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux"LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vmware nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
