Hi Vini,
I read this some time ago
http://www.skype.com/help/guides/soundsetup_linux.html
in particular "Currently, Skype does not natively support ALSA, so you
will need to install ALSA OSS emulation layer in order to use ALSA
devices in Skype.".
so I came to the conclusion that ALSA is not well supported.
Let's hope with the new version
