Too bad they dropped support for OSSv4, for now at least. Appart from that this new version seem to work well (at least for the short time I have used it). Alsa doesn't play well with my notebook so I'm compelled to use OSSv4c and I will only poke pulse with a long stick.
If the skype developers don't add support for OSSv4 it's a big fail imo. I believe part of the _informed_ users are giving OSSv4 a try when alsa does a poor job on their machines and they are generally happier with it than with alsa.
I am a lot happier with OSSv4, flawless playback _every_ single time, with better quality than with alsa, no nonsense whatsoever.

The 64-bit installer contains a 32-bit executable:
# file skype
skype: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped
So, it's still only 32-bit.

Waste of money ?

Brasero is joke that not working, K3B is not always working.
It is not a shame to pay for something that does the work. I had a choice and i used it. No regrets.
You'll probably waste more money on f...d blank CD/DVD if you don't use Nero.
But anyway, you have the right to use whatever you choose and as long as you don't bash other people choices no one really cares about your choice.

I guess I'll have to look into it better, but anyway, there is no good reason not to support ossv4 directly, the 2.0 version of skype did have direct support for oss and that works perfectly here.
