Yes, but there's not much use in it, because Skype is in trouble and
they wont spend work on their Linux version.

Agreed, but when I tell skype to use OSS, my CPU gets up to 50% and
there is an enormous delay between what I say and the reply from the
other person. The delay gets bigger and bigger and so does CPU, until PA
uses 100% and makes my box unusable.

I think we both agree that whatever uses OSS, PA should not eat all the
CPU, right?
