I'm running debian with 2.6.8 kernel. I can start up Skype, but there is no sound. I also get a whole bunch of
[quote]Xlib: extension "SHAPE" missing on display ":0.0".[/quote]
messages on the console. Are those important?

I get a
[quote]read error, res = -1 , handle = 21[/quote]
when calling echo123

I tried cat'ing a few wav files to /dev/dsp but I just got static. Is that because of a bad setup?
