We were specifically trying to get skype to work on a sunray. We got audio working by configuring kde.
If you start kcontrol Select: Sound & Multimedia Sound System Hardware We selected Full Duplex and changed the default audio location to that of AUDIODEV (/tmp/SUNWut/dev/utaudio/ut-dsp-0 Apply the changes Then restart the application with artsdsp[user@host]: artsdsp skype ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 753, errno = 0 volume_open: error opening /dev/mixer: No such deviceAfter this, audio works. We still don't have microphone working though... Other KDE applications seem to prefer this method, starting via artsdsp
