Just in case you're using KDE, Skype sometimes has a problem with the aRts 
soundserver keeping the OSS device busy, so you might want to try "killall 
artsd" on the console just before starting Skype (yes, there are more elegant 
ways to do this). Further, you can test your Skype connectivity by calling 
"echo123".
