   I've tested your tip and it didn't work here.

   Is there an alternative to skype on Slitaz?

   I think, the best alternative is Linphone - it is available on all plattforms and and pricing for regular phonecalls is cheaper - e.g. http://www.tele33.de/ - the problem with linphone is, that it uses Port 5060 or 6000 - in free hotspots these ports are sometimes closed - so thats a very good alternative for home.

   Then there is viber http://www.viber.com/ - used a lot on smartphones and for slitaz only possible through wine, because they have no linux 32bit version.
   Viber uses different Ports as linphone TCP: 5242 and 4244 - UDP: 5243 and 9785 - and viber for me is a security problem, because viber collects adresses

   Maybe it is possible to get an older version of windows skype with the mac trick and wine http://www.oldapps.com/de/skype.php

   hi
   i am not looking another alternative. i already gave up trying to make pulseaudio package for slitaz.

   honestly i am willing to pay who can build pulseaudio for slitaz and make skype works.

   if anyone interested i am openminded about it.

   ( i know this is not paid community, but this is emergency issue)

   thanks

    found some time to test linphone on rolling - it is ok, but does not find soundcard

    @Pascal - can you try something in the receipt

    ./configure --enable-alsa and maybe also --enable-ssl --enable-zrtp for encrypted phonecalls

    and I think it needs alsa-lib-dev in the build depends

    tested also pulseaudio with skype - skype starts but then crashes with following error

    tux@slitaz:~$ skype
    Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 597: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
    tux@slitaz:~$

    Bellard,

    Sorry, not tested yet.

    Should we rebuild Qt with PulseAudio? Now it's disabled in the configuration. And Skype is a Qt based app, of course.

    And I think we strongly need “pavucontrol” package (it's sound mixer). About month ago solved a problem with input source on my wife's Lubuntu for Skype — by default it chooses built-in soundcard's microphone (that is absent), but I needed microphone from USB web-cam. That time pavucontrol helps me ;)

    Linphone works nice with the new browserinterface and firefox on SliTaz

    http://web.linphone.org/

    so its the best skype alternativ - even when the sip ports are closed (all wlan hotspots I have tested the last days had no problem), you can use the browser interface
