Will bee new Salix with PulseAudio?

[VAA]

I like Salix. But I need skype. It is not my chois, it is chois of opposit side.
Now it is not simple to install PulseAudio in salix. And there is a time before next Slackware version.
Is it in your plan Salix version with PulseAudio? Or have PulseAudio as package in official repo?

Most probably not.

But you don't need pulseaudio to run Skype. You can find Skype packages in this forum, created by djemos, that work without pulseaudio. Search for them.

You can install PulseAudio from SlackBuilds.org using Sourcery, spi or slapt-src.

Sorry, but created by djemos package is not in repo and not so easy find in forum.
One more: it is not supported USB microfone inside of web camera. Supported is only separate microphone.
I have tryed install PulseAudio from SlackBuilds.org using Sourcery, but it was not succesful.

I'm using "apulse" from slackbuilds, which emulates pulseaudio and Skype works fine with it.

Same here apulse with skype works great and not need worry about using pulseaudio

Thanks for sammy and compfused.
I have installed apulse (it need installed cmake for installation) but now I have new problem, not connected with sound.
When I try to start skype I have message "/usr/bin/skype: No such file or directory".
I have checked. File skype exist in /usr/bin and has permission for performance.
My system is Salix 64 bit Mate, I have installed skype two time. First skype-4.3.0.37 dynamic from producer, second using sourcery.
And system was rebootet. What I do wrong?

Skype is 32bit only and does not work in 64bit systems.

Use the packages djemos posted.
