I had one run with Skype and Pulse Audio in 11.2, got annoyed by it
and ripped Pulse out again.. I'm back on ALSA for now.

Installing pavucontrol works.. kind of... but it is super annoying to
set up Skype to use a USB headset.  I had to do things like initiate a
call (test call worked for this) and then quick open pavucontrol, find
the audio stream and assign it to the device I wanted, cross my
fingers and hope it worked... after hit/miss a few times I did get it
to work the way I wanted... as I said, it can be configured, but it's
messy... unnecessarily so... and totally incomprehensible for a new
user wanting to do this.

This isn't limited to openSUSE... applies to all distros using the
latest Skype and Pulse Audio.

Also with Pulse Audio I notice that sounds are clipped... especially
the shutdown sound for KDE4.

I'll give Pulse a go again... maybe with the next release of Skype :-P
