I have this very annoying problem ever since I upgraded Intrepid to Jaunty. I use Skype a lot being overseas, so this was a major failing of the Jaunty install for me. Skype worked OK on Intrepid. Using Skype a cpu (Core2Duo) suffered a quick ramp up to 100% and >20 seconds of delay in outgoing voice as soon as a Skype call connected. Text worked OK. I tried switching from gstreamer to xine for system sound, no luck. So i have been keeping a tab open in the browser to this page for more than a month to watch developments, also to http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=306381&st=40. At last, maxdata gave me the information I needed. Since Skype did not work, I had nothing to lose deleting it and reinstalling it. So I deleted Skype, added the medibuntu repository, used Synaptic Package Manager to install Skype-static-oss, then tried it out. Problem cured! Skype CPU is now < 20% and sound is fast and clear. Thanks maxdata! Jaunty is running on a Toshiba Satellite U-205 notebook using Gnome. It is up to date. Perhaps Skype's reliance on the Qt library used by KDE is a problem here and including its own library static linked fixes things.
