I think, i wass wrong. There is group 'audio' in my system, but i used
GUI 'users-admin', and there wass check button 'show all users and
groups', whitch wass not checked, so i didn't see this group. 
I don't now actualy, what i did, but skype is now working fine. I wass
adding some pakages, so i think i missed some pakage before. But don't
ask me whitch.
Thanks for help.
  Dexter
