app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs (~amd64, 20130224) is incompatible with media-sound/pulseaudio (~amd64, 3.0) that leads to x32 emulation apps with pulse deps, like skype, couldn't output sound.
That is because emul sets only include already stabilized packages
This likely has nothing to do with emul soundlibs, and more to do with a Skype bug. Please try skype-4.2.0.11-r1 for a fix.
Please reopen if you still find things broken with 4.2.0.11-r1
This is not the skype bug. Recent libpulse should be provided, because 2.0 and 3.0 are incompatible.
Incompatible in what way?
ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
I use 32bit libpulse from Arch linux and don't like it =\
Could you post verbose logs for when this happens? Do this with: * pacmd set-log-level 4 * Try reproducing the connection refused error * You should see some error logs in your syslog.
There is no additional info in syslog: > flog _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT=pulseaudio.service --since -3m -- Logs begin at Пт 2013-08-02 14:49:27 EEST. -- авг 03 12:23:31 WinterMute pulseaudio[2725]: [pulseaudio] cli.c: CLI got EOF from user. авг 03 12:23:31 WinterMute pulseaudio[2725]: [pulseaudio] client.c: Freed 34 "UNIX socket client" авг 03 12:23:31 WinterMute pulseaudio[2725]: [pulseaudio] protocol-dbus.c: Interface org.PulseAudio.Core1.Client removed from object /org/pulseaudio/core1/client34 авг 03 12:23:37 WinterMute pulseaudio[2725]: [pulseaudio] client.c: Freed 22 "Skype" авг 03 12:23:37 WinterMute pulseaudio[2725]: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Connection died. авг 03 12:23:37 WinterMute pulseaudio[2725]: [pulseaudio] protocol-dbus.c: Interface org.PulseAudio.Core1.Client removed from object /org/pulseaudio/core1/client22 The only thing that I can get then skype reports ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused is: D: [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: /dev/snd/controlC0 is accessible: yes D: [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: Resuming all sinks and sources of card alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0.
Could you also post the output of: PULSE_LOG=4 skype This works just fine for me here, so the error you're facing is strange. Also, I notice you're having Skype use ALSA. As a workaround, you could try to see if making Skype talk to PA directly works.
