Again: there have been two public Skype betas out for a while, maybe for two
months now. It already works better than the stable release. And yes,
it does use ALSA.

The accent is on "betas".

What have you found non-functional about the betas?

Is there some reason why you can't use Ekiga?   It comes in a nice, easy to install RPM (unlike skype which only has RPMs for FC3 and FC4 or tarballs).   Also, as Rahul has pointed out, the aoss stuff is available if you really need it.

But why go through the pain?   Is it because the people you want to talk to will only run Skype?
