[ubuntu-us-ma] Trouble with Pidgin-skype plugin in Natty

[Dave Hunt]

Thanks for your reply!  Not sure mine is a sound issue, per-se.  I think 
something is odd with the communication between Skype and the protocol 
plugin.  The audio sounds ok when I connect to the Skype echo test number.



Best Regards,


Dave
