Public bug reported:
Skype was working perfectly for me in hardy but when I upgraded to
intrepid pre-release it stopped working. I was previously using "default
device" in the sound settings of Skype (for both input and output). In
intrepid I cannot get it to work regardless or what sound options I try.
FWIW, I'm running an integrated intel HDA card with a Realtek ALC268
codec. Thpugh, when I run alsamixer the listed chipset is pulse of
course (I'm using the default config for everything, no hacks).
I have the exact same version of Skype (latest) and the Skype version
didn't change when I upgraded (obviously). Therefore I believe that
somebody changed something in the underlying sound infrastructure and
while possibly fixing some other bug they also accidently screwed up
Skype functionality.
I looked at "info sharedlibrary" using gdb and these are the ones that I
think are the sound related modules inside Skype. It looks likely to me
that this problem was a result of a change inside either Pulse Audio or
inside ALSA.

Not being able to use Skype is a _big deal_ for many I suspect, and I
really hope this can be fixed somehow despite Skype not being FLOSS.
Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide
to clarify this problem.
