I think that at first (8.10 i386 - early days) I had no option but to 
use ALSA, I would get microphone return sound only at the left earphone, 
but then PulseAudio was updated and Skype was set to use it without 
problems. Nevertheless those configurations are probably hardware 
dependent and I might have observed only a local problem (and as Skype 
is not in the repositories...)

However there are indeed video issues in some applications for 8.10 
(i386: Cheese and Ekiga works, Camorama won't - could you guys please 
stop bullshitting about top and bottom posting and help me?) and with 
Skype and AMD64, you should google it before upgrading. My 64 is a test 
install and although I have just updated it (yesterday) and installed 
Skype, I didn't try hard to make the Skype video work.
