This might be sound-hardware dependent, and architecture-dependent as
well.

Here, on a Dell Latitude E6500, Skype 2.2.0.35 32bit installed (with
tons of 32bit stuff including sound libs, I can't remember where I
grabbed the install tips from exactly) on an up-to-date CentOS6 64bit.

In Skype settings:
Sound Devices ->
Microphone: PulseAudio server (local) <- anyway there's no other possible choice
Speakers: PulseAudio server (local) <- ..
Ringing: PulseAudio server (local) <- ..
[x] Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels
