posting a quick note about the problem that I had after upgradingfrom Hardy Heron to ubuntu 8.10 with skype. There seemed to be aproblem with the pulseaudio service and skype, everything worked finewith the audio i.e. playing and recording however using skype, i wouldget the error.”Problem with audio capture” and “Problem with audioplayback”. It turns out that skype works fine with esound instead sorunning the following commands resolved the problem.

killall pulseaudio
sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install esound
sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
