With version 2.3 of soundlibs my microphone works everywhere except for skype. Upgrading to app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs-2.4 fixes the problem. Suggested solution is for Skype Ebuild for amd64 to use 2.4 instead of 2.3 ----- Portage 2.1.1-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.18-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-gentoo x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 15:50:01 +0000 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fweb -frename-registers -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fweb -frename-registers -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch prelink sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="sv_SE.iso88591" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY=" " SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 acpi alsa avahi avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr cli crypt cups dbus dlloader dri dvd dvdr eds elibc_glibc emboss encode esd firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse isdnlog java javascript jpeg kernel_linux lcms logrotate lzw lzw-tiff mad mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session smp spell spl ssl svg tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userland_GNU video_cards_fglrx vorbis wmf xine xorg xpm xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
This should have been reported to net-im :) I've spent hours trying to solve the issue on my amd64, and after fixing it i found the bug. It has been fixed in 1.3.050.
