Haven't used skype in 15(?) years. Thank you Kate. I think it is about how PA start or better when, but I also found out I have files in .pulse and in .config/pulse only one file cookie while the peer has all the files in .config/pulse but no directory .pulse. I remember that this was changed between some previous versions, but I am not sure if this makes any difference. the problem is most likely the late spawning of PA on the peer side (after skype is started by kicker)
