I think putting the command:

$ asoundconf set-pulseaudio

Will also enable alsa redirection for pulse audio, at least per user, and may be a solution for the problem.

I'm using Hardy x86_64, and, sadly, libasound2-plugins is not avaliable for 32 bits apps like Skype ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182731 ). I'd like to know if this works for 32 bit Hardy users, though. Anyone tested?

If it works, then setting alsa redirection to PulseAudio by default may be a fix for this bug... at least for the cases where libasound2-plugins are avaliable. Why not to make this change?

If setting this command it don't work, maybe there's something really broken with pulseaudio... I don't know... just my opinion.
