Great! Finally! With PulseAudio support :)
no more pasuspender skype !
PA is such an important feature, almost every major distro uses PA.
The bad is that no native amd64 version, and no Qt shared version...
Thanks for the news.
Thanks for this, it's nice to have Pulse support, especially paired with Ear_Candy!
