Using arts i get it working but with an horrible delay(About 30 sec),
but could hear others and they could hear me, i did that by runing skype
using the artsdsp pipeline..

artsdsp skype.. obvously i coulnd hear anything in gnome..using
polypaudio i just run skype and it works, but while talking or receiving
a call all other audio goes away
