But my question to this group is, do I dare do this sort of

Sure, but make sure you keep a copy of the original file before you
change it. That way it is easy to revert.
Ahh, that is the secret. Always be able to revert to the original
file. I will copy the original to /root/ for safe keeping :-)
Isn't this a misunderstanding?
The advice, as I understood it, was to add the lines to /etc/modprobe.conf .
I wouldn't have thought it was necessary to go to great lengths
to save the old version;
you can always delete what you added if it doesn't do what you want.
No, the advice was to add the lines to a file called alsa. Water has
passed under the bridge and the last word from Skype is that they are
working on a new version that will correct this problem. So I plan to wait.
