Well, I'll have to check. Audio problems are not uncommon in Linux ;)
But MS keeps changing its protocols and introducing new "features". Text is enough for me.

I think we should go the Beryl way: Make an AWESOME messenger with an open protocol, and make people say "WOW, I'll drop boring MSN right now!!" ;)
