I reinstalled the old kernel and skype worked again, but when
I tried to reproduce the skype problem with the ALSA kernel, I
couldn't.  I've booted the ALSA kernel 4 more times and skype has worked
after each reboot.  I know I did see a skype problem the first
time I booted with the ALSA kernel, but it perhaps had nothing
to do with the kernel.  The only problem I've seen since then
is the soundcard detection fails to play the test sound sometimes,
but this was true with the old kernel too.
