"Where we're at (major end-user visible items):

- Sound sounds great thanks to a new, 100% ALSA framework; lookat that
beautiful A/V sync!"

Three weeks ago they were still trying to decide what audio API to use
for Flash 9.  They've since decided on ALSA, ported Flash, and fixed the
AV sync bug.

The next Skype release (in beta now) also has ALSA support.

It seems that many ISVs have changed their tune since you last talked to
