I tried downgrading pulseaudio from Jessie's 5.0-13 to Wheezy's
2.0-6.1 . But apt-get wants to remove almost all of the KDE (over 256
packages) to achieve that. So I decided not to do this.

Is skype 4.3.0.37-1 working for anyone running Jessie with the
following pulseaudio version?

rajulocal@hogwarts:~$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 5.0
