My wife uses Skype on Centos 5 (currently 5.4) regularly.

She has a Microsoft Lifechat (USB) headphone/microphone that she uses
for that purpose.  If her computer is booted up with the headphone
plugged in, then it doesn't work properly.  But if the headphone is
unplugged when the computer is booted and plugged in afterward,
everything is fine.
