--- Comment #3 from maurice at bcs.org.uk ---
P.S. 
I see here that Mageia's Skype is not the only one affected by pulseaudio's
bizarre handling of webcam microphone input (UBUNTU report):

http://askubuntu.com/questions/33392/how-to-use-the-webcams-microphone-in-skype

"...click tab Input devices and check, if microphone is functioning (it is
visible on the horizontal scale).

Than click tab Recording. The page should be empty (no another device is
recording). In Skype call Echo/Sound test service, or call somebody, who is
able to endure on line. 
  This is only that way, how to set up microphone! During the session in Volume
Control is visible what is recording. Push button in upper right corner and
choose your web camera microphone input from list."

I.e. same bizarre hoop to jump through as in Mageia...
