Phonon and Skype

Hi,

That doesn't really matter, as long as pulse does not block the audio device
completely it's fine. Phonon was not thought for low level IO operations,
and according to the qt 4.6 docs they (Nokia) are not going to do anything
about this.
I think we'll have to live with an alternative. Pulse is a good option. I've
pulse running at the moment next to phonon, and it works properly. Maybe it
would be easier for us integrating with pulse than for them using phonon
somewhere in the near future.

Kind regards,
Georg
