That's odd. I have Skype on four different 64-bit machines and two
versions of Fedora 64-bit (one Opteron/FC6, one Athlon X2/FC6, one
Opteron/F7 and one Xeon DuoCore/F7). All machines are fully updated
(F7 machines have the -41 kernel and latest udev) and Skype works just
fine on all once you sort out which switches to enable in Alsa.
Note that I have the 1.4.0.99-fc5.i586 version of Skype installed (yes,
an i586 package on 64-bit machines running 64-bit Fedora). The older
versions did have issues. In my case, the mic was muted after hanging
up a call requiring Skype to be restarted. A minor annoyance as I
rarely made one call after another on Skype. The new version doesn't
have this issue (at least for me).
