I had exactly this problem for months and had given up, I had removed 
pulseaudio
in total and I still don't have it installed, I have only alsa. 
Everything worked fine
except skype.
  Last week I had trouble with speed in 'google earth' and found that I 
wasn't running
the latest Nvidia package I installed this which fixed 'google earth', 
it also fixed a lot
of other things too, such as skype and screen-shadowing. I just wonder 
if you have
the latest graphics driver for whatever hardware you have.
