I believe this bug is now obsolete because latest Skype forces use of pulseaudio, as they completely dropped support for plain-ALSA

Have fun setupping pulseaudio and retesting!

Of course, if you can provide a way to reproduce this with new skype, or by other means, please reopen the bug accordingly!
