Actually 2 of them.
1. I can only make one connection per reboot, otherwise there is
"something wrong with the audio device" when a new connection is
attempted. My headphones continue to function normally. And my own
voice is flawless both in my phones and at the other end of the call.
This is a known bug, Skype doesn't close the device. Restarting Skype
fixes that.
Use skype_dsp_hijacker.
Ok, got .7 and installed it. And it still isn't closing the device.
There is not a skype_dsp_hijacker process to be found by the usual
means, like a ps -ea or htop, but the sound device is still blocked.
It does report the workaround is in use, but apparently for naught.
It appears that I'm back to the one use per reboot again.

2. Reception is very intermittent, and coupled with a lot of
chuttering noises. This I verified is on my end by trying the
echo123 facility, even the ladies recorded voice was chopped up into
just fractions of a word here and there.
This is also a common problem. I fixed this with dmix-ing.
