I don't see why not . But you will need to get the alsa/oss parts working . I would \
check out cooltrainer

Th sections on Skype audio are going to come in handy .

If you have qemu you can try this . Create a new vm with a raw disk , boot up qemu \
with the centos 6 DVD do a ext4 disk setup with out lvm and a full desktop install . \
Then from qemu and that install try to get chrome working .Power off the vm .Then \
once done using mdconfig attach the raw disk and mount it and copy that into a local \
dir for use as your Linux base . The. Give chrome a try . While involved it worked \
int the past for some app I had to deal with .
