Oh right, Skype actually generates an error..
I am not sure sorry.

Note that your default audio device is HDMI audio (not sure if that is =
what you really want) and if you don't have something connected via HDMI =
I suppose that could cause the error..

Try..
sudo sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=3D1
(leaving the ALSA config file alone) and then restart skype.
