Don't use skype, but r u sure your firewall is not blocking outgoing sound?
Funny, I never gave that a thought. Any idea which port I would have to open?
You generally don't need to: 1. Skype is smart enough to pass through pretty much anything. 2. You say that you manage to setup a connection and hear the echo test incoming voice.
IMHO you should concentrate on making sure you are using the latest version of Skype for Linux and getting your mic working.
Skype until some stage used the old non-alsa sound interface and required the alsa emualtion of that interface. I think they finally switched to ALSA with version 2.
http://alsa-project.org is a VERY helpful place (and carries very helpful mailing list) for such stuff, since it appears almost certain to me that your issue is generally with your mic or Skype's sound configuration and not Skype's network side.
Good luck,
