I've given all rw permissions to /dev/dsp and the skype-clients-configuration-dir, which allows me to load mod_skypeopen and a skype call to ring in, but as soon as I answer, skypopen reports a hangup with normal clearing.

Hi Chris,

no, there is no any reason I know of.

Can you double check if you got all permission right? Also, the
permissions to reach that  configuration directory and the /dev/dsp.

Which OS-distro are you using?
