Luke,

What exactly can't you reproduce? What I found is that Hardy's libasound2 and libasound2-plugins packages seem buggy, so I tried Debian unstable's version and they worked. It seems Intrepid has already synced these packages, so you can grab from there as well.

I installed Skype from the Medibuntu repository, and it's the regular ALSA version. It seems if it is configured to use the "default" device via Skype's Options/Sound Devices it may not work, but sound definitely works when configured to use the "pulse" device.

Using Hardy's libasound2* packages causes Skype (and other applications that use the ALSA pulse plugin) to crash, but Debian/Intrepid's don't crash.
