Google videochat might be an option at work since my cohort is a Chrome
fan anyway.  I'll look into it.  But I'm trying to avoid the "one vendor
to rule them all" scenario.  Google is my search engine.  Firefox is my
browser.   Skype for video chat (until ekiga works better).

This will work, but I just gotta figure out how to get XFce/F16 to allow
two applications access to the sound device at one time.

Thanks for the tip though.
