Also, have you tried Skype for MID, yet? I think the version is 3.0.0.93, but I'm not sure whether that's in the same version # scheme as regular Skype. It's a modifed client intended for Linux MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices).

I am running it now, on Fedora 11, and it works pretty well with my Logitech QuickCam 9000 USB. It seems to like PulseAudio, after I uncommented and changed some settings.
* high-priority = yes
* nice-level = 3
* default-fragments = 8
* default-fragment-size-msec = 5
You may not need all of those, I'm not 100% sure which ones solved my problems. (Basically, I was getting sound so choppy that it sounded like short, sharp bursts of static--totally unusable.) After changing settings, do a `killall pulseaudio`, and then restart your client apps (pulseaudio should be automatically restarted when a client requests it).
I haven't gotten around to making an F11 RPM spec file, yet, but the manual installation is dead simple:
* Untar to '/usr/share/skype/',
* copy the 'skype' script 'skype.bin' binary executables to '/usr/bin', and
* edit the 'skype' script so that it points to the correct binary path
There are a few missing features in MID, but I haven't missed them.
