pipewire Skype won't access the microphone. :-(
Maybe Skype uses ALSA? It's best to enable the "pipewire-alsa" USE flag
on pipewire and disable the "pulseaudio" flag on alsa-plugins:
media-video/pipewire: pipewire-alsa
media-plugins/alsa-plugins: -pulseaudio
This replaces pulseaudio's ALSA plugin with pipewire's. Skype might work
with this.
