Hi!

Thank's for reply. I could not find a place where to specify some device to
phonon. 

I have opened system settings/multimedia. Here I have 2 tabs:

- System preferences - I can see a read-only tree audio output/capture
categories and all of them have "HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog)" value to the right

- The 2nd tab backend allows me to choose from xine/gstreamer (xine is
preferred in my case) and some deinterlacing options on the right.

I can't see where phonone might be pointed to oss or some other device.

Thank you

Ok, this is what I did

1. Login to kde (amarok is not started) - skype works, though fuser -m -v
/dev/dsp shows that kded4 uses /dev/dsp

2. Start amarok (do not start playing music) - skype works

3. Start playback in amarok - skype stops working (problem with audio playback
message)

4. Stop playback in amarok (press stop - not pause) - still skype does not work

5. Exit amarok - skype works again


I the 4th point is already a problem, and the 5th point does not solve the
problem in 100% of cases - while reporting the original post, I did exit amarok
and skype still did not work and that was not single occasion.


Additionaly I have got advice on another forum:

6. Running skype with "aoss skype" command solves the problem in all cases - I
can even call with skype when amarok plays music in background.
