Adding the following section got some OSS apps to work correctly for
me.  It seems that applications that only support OSS are the most
troublesome.  I don't know about skype (never used it), but artsd can be
configured to use ALSA.  The following example assumes that you have
already configured a plugin for dmix/asym that is named 'asym'.  If you
would like my full configuration, let me know.

pcm.dsp0 {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "asym"
}

ctl.mixer0 {
        type hw
        card 0
}
