This is poor advice and does nothing to make the system better.  It may work 
for you, but this is a development list and we are trying to develop a better 
system.

There is nothing inherently incompatible between Skype, Pulseaudio, and 
Kubuntu.  I have them working just fine together (all I had to do after install 
was unmute the microphone).  It would be more useful to work on what the 
proper solution is.
