Thank you for replying.
I went ahead and installed ALSA 10.0,17 and it worked straight away
without any mucking about. I played with levels to avoid distortion and
the quality seems good enough for Skype.
BTW for others reading I installed Opera and it does not suffer the "off
line" bug of Iceweasal/Firefox and it has a nice zoom function that is
handy on an EeePC.
cheers
