I use Skype for telephony, and Teamspeak for some online games (mostly Ticket to Ride). Until now, I’ve never gotten them to peacefully coexist on my 64-bit Linux system, despite the use of the ALSA OSS emulation library.
Now, with Fedora 7, it finally works, though I’m not sure what changed. I use this little wrapper script to invoke Teamspeak:
#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/teamspeak/TeamSpeak2RC2
aoss -32 /usr/local/teamspeak/TeamSpeak2RC2/TeamSpeak.bin
Update:
It appears that I spoke too soon. Skype and Teamspeak seem to fight over which owns the microphone, and Teamspeak wins. While Teamspeak is running, Skype (native ALSA version) gets no microphone input. I expected that the microphone audio would go to both. Sigh.
