I use PulseAudio and Skype 2.2.0.25-1 Beta (didn't know there was a later version). Port 53305 is opened on the firewall but it shouldn't make much difference if you've closed it. SkypCallRecord, Skyessential, Skype4Py and Amarok extensions installed. Also the python-skype is installed.
Never had a crash. I know a lot of people with the same experience - though we would love to find another multi-platform, easy to install voip program, preferably open source, to replace it. Anything in dmesg or syslog? In Skype Options, Advanced - tick "Display technical information" and then put the mouse over the callers avatar when in a call for jitter and other info.
