I think what is happening is that Fookb-wmaker is controlling alsa sound
levels - which some of your apps use. When you use pavucontrol you are
adjusting sound levels for alsa *and* what ever other sound systems you
have. That is the purpose of pulseaudio - a one-stop-shop to manage all
your sound systems - independent of other sound systems, apps, other
users, and across networks.
Perhaps if you dig around in Fookb-wmaker you can get it to talk direct
to pulseaudio. I'd have to install wmaker *and* gnome to find out.
Glad you're no longer shouting on Skype.
Cheers
