So I have finally decided to move to Gentoo… and with that to give last chance to pulseaudio.

So I went on installing it, following http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/PulseAudio , but the result was that there was no sound in Skype. It didn’t even detect that Pulse was present.

After some digging I found http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-789181-highlight-pulseaudio.html and followed it – it works like a charm. Now everything is using Pulse … I could even start liking it
