Have you tried setting parameters for alsa snd_pcm_oss emulator?
These lines have helped me both with Fedora Core 3 and Ubuntu Hoary:
echo "skype 256 65535 direct block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "skype 256 65535 direct block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
Shutdown Skype and write those lines to the terminal before starting
Skype again. Use "sudo" if you are not root.
I'am using SB Live Value on a 400MHz Celeron. Those settings also
dropped the CPU-usage of skype a lot.
For more details see the complete tread in forums.skype.com:

To make settings permanent I have made file /etc/init.d/rc.local:
>
> #!/bin/sh
>
> # this is to test whether this script is executed during bootup
> touch /var/lock/rc.local-test
>
> # alsa-oss settings for skype
> cat /dev/null > /dev/audio
> echo "skype 256 8192 direct block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
> echo "skype 256 8192 direct block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
>
and I made a symbolic link /etc/rcS.d/S80rc.local ->
/etc/init.d/rc.local to make the rc.local -file executed at the bootup.
