YES, that was it.  I was fighting with it all afternoon and it was so simple :-/

Though, the video and voice work with guvcview and can record it and save it but with skype only video works.
I think the problem is "pulse" audio, skype only show "pulse" audio option; guvcview allow me to switch to: 
USB Device 0x46d:0x825 Audio.

How to force skype to USB Device Audio?
