Thanks for your e-mail. Here are my details using the commands you used: > $ rpm -qa \*skype\* > skype-2.0.0.72-centos.i586 > > $ rpm -qa \*alsa\* > alsa-lib-1.0.14-1.rc4.el5.i386 > alsa-lib-devel-1.0.14-1.rc4.el5.x86_64 > alsa-utils-1.0.14-3.rc4.el5.x86_64 > alsa-lib-1.0.14-1.rc4.el5.x86_64 As you can see, I do not have the pulse audio plugin like you do. I did a repo search and there are no pulse audio rpm files available for Scientific Linux. Unless I'm doing something wrong. > $ yum search pulse > Loading "kernel-module" plugin > No Matches found Is pulse audio supported by Scientific Linux? Maybe there is a CentOS rpm file I could use?
