just in case: try this howto on setting skype and pulseaudio - http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases/Mandriva/2008.0/Errata#Skype_with_PulseAudio

maybe it works. it says that you need to do some other tweaks to make it work with pulseaudio. remember to have alsa-plugins also installed.

Precision : 32 bits skype works for me with emul-* packages too. But it
does not work with pulseaudio because then my 32 bits gentoo lacks the
pulse alsa plugin.
