Important update note: Since Skype 4.3, only PulseAudio is supported. That means you NEED a working PulseAudio setup to use Skype for voice chatting. If you get distorted sound in skype, try adding PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 to your env before starting skype. Something like 'export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60' in .bashrc, for example. removing lib32-v4l-utils... removing lib32-qt4... removing lib32-sqlite... removing lib32-openssl... removing lib32-mesa-libgl... removing lib32-mesa... removing lib32-wayland... removing lib32-llvm-libs... removing lib32-libxxf86vm... removing lib32-libxshmfence... removing lib32-libxdamage... removing lib32-libvdpau... removing lib32-libdrm... removing lib32-libpciaccess... removing lib32-elfutils... removing lib32-libxv... removing lib32-libxrandr... removing lib32-libmng... removing lib32-lcms2... removing lib32-libtiff... removing lib32-libjpeg-turbo... removing lib32-fontconfig... removing lib32-alsa-lib... removing lib32-libxss... removing lib32-libxcursor... removing lib32-libxrender... removing lib32-libpulse... removing lib32-systemd... removing lib32-libgcrypt... removing lib32-libgpg-error... removing lib32-xz... removing lib32-libxtst... removing lib32-libxi... removing lib32-libxfixes... removing lib32-libxext... removing lib32-libx11... removing lib32-libxcb... removing lib32-libxdmcp... removing lib32-libxau... removing lib32-libsndfile... removing lib32-libvorbis... removing lib32-flac... removing lib32-libogg... removing lib32-libsm... removing lib32-util-linux... removing lib32-libice... removing lib32-libcap... removing lib32-attr... removing lib32-libasyncns... removing lib32-json-c...
