I have read the Novell solution of the problem with Skype sound :

*SOLUTION: Skype, the free VOIP software uses OSS (Open Sound System), which it reserves the whole sound system for itself. There are many work arounds for this. You can use ALSA directly, or through wrappers such as aRts. Here I will show how to do it with ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture).

First, you need to copy and paste the script provided below and add it to your /etc/asound.conf file.*

Please tell me where is file asound.conf, I did not fint such in my SuSE 10. If the file has another mane - what is the name .

Thank you in advance.

After that, when you want to start the software, type aoss skype at a command prompt to start the soft

There is no /etc/asound.conf as default.  You can write it by yourself.
Alternatively, you can write ~/.asoundrc instead of /etc/asound.conf.  ~/.asoundrc is for your personal use but /etc/asound.conf is system-wide.
