This is what I put in my .asoundrc to get things working at the time:

pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}

This was a while ago though and I'm not sure what settings you have to 
choose in Skype but I can confirm that in the end I was able to use my 
headset properly. Maybe that helps.
