A few things to note:
-Because this is an earlier version of the skype base software, a few features are missing and probably will be for some time. This includes video, advanced noise reduction, ability to redirect output to one mixer and input to another, and the list goes on. But for my purposes, it's just fine.
-There's a bug that pops up every now and then where Skype won't close your oss sound device after ending a call. The only way I've seen to fix this is to close Skype, restart alsa, then reopen Skype. Large pain in the butt.
Apparently Skype has been working furiously on a newer version where alsa support and the like will be built in, but I'm waiting to see that one.

I've read <http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Skype> and it looks ok. Under
fedora it never quite worked right, some sort of incompatability with
xmms I suspect. Just sorta soliciting experiences with skype and
gentoo :)
If I can get it working properly that'd be one less reason to use windows :)
