Got skype 4.2 to connect again



Hi folks, 

I managed to get an older version of skype (the multiarch debian package) 
getting connected to skype. As you might have noticed, the new version is 
pulseaudio needed /what a crap!) and the older version (4.2) inhibits to 
connect to the server.

So I found a simple solution:
- Install the 4.2 package.
- start a hexeditor and open the file /usr/bin/skype
- search for "4.2.0.11" and change this to "4.3.0.37"
- save the file
- restart skype and 
- voila! It is now connecting to the server again!

No pulseaudio needed any more! Yeah!

Have fun!

Hans
