OK, I'll check my mic with some other application, but it seems to
work fine, cause I can toggle on/off the mic with alsamix and I notice
the change if I touch or if I blow to the mic.

The stupid thing is that with a stock FC 6 installation Skype worked
and then after a while, it stopped to work properly.

I will try to find the solution.
