A quick update on Skype: the next Skype version will include native
PulseAudio support. And not only that but they even tag their audio
streams properly. This enables PulseAudio to do fancy stuff like
automatically pausing your audio playback when you have a phone call. Good job!

In some ways they are now doing a better job with integration in to the modern
audio landscape than some Free Software telephony applications!

Unfortunately they didn’t fix the biggest bug though: it’s still not Free
Software!
