I use skype with no problem with Hoary in my laptop.
I put in Multimedia Systems Selector the ouput to OSS (I have a Yamaha
YMF 753) to test it. It worked fine.
I found this tip to change in /etc/esound/esd.conf : set auto_spawn=1,
few weeks ago. (Why it isn't by default ?)
And now I put back the output to ESD and all work fine.
I have never do kill esd or esddsp skype.
I saw I have polyaudio and esound-common. I don't have esound.
I  don't understand I also have ubuntu-desktop. Why esound don't install
with ubuntu-desktop ???
I will try to remove polyaudio and reinstall esound to make test.
