Comment 22 for bug 273693

Doesn't work for me:
I've created the file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/alsa-lib:
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib
/usr/lib/alsa-lib

Changed /usr/share/alsa/pulse.conf:
Instead of
lib "/usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so"
Modified to
lib "libasound_module_conf_pulse.so"

Run sudo ldconfig -v and saw that alsa libs were being read in.

And skype still crashes. Or it starts up and says problem with audio, can't make a test call, etc..
