Try nethogs [0]. It claims to monitor bandwidth by process. It is apparently meant for realtime viewing, but you can probably get it to log.
You can also fire up your favorite sniffer (tcpdump / wireshark / ettercap). and try to sort traffic by port, assuming you know what ports skype is using.
You might also take a look at darkstat [1].
