I mentioned this previously in the thread and apparently no one cares about it enough to file a useful bug report (we got one report that the *kernel level* emulation didn't work which is a different issue). By far the most common bug report is "Skype does not work with aoss". We would LOVE to see a reproducible test case using an *open source* app (kiax might be a good place to start).
