Hmm, I lost interest in trying to get Skype working with PA in F8 shortly after F8 release and found that getting rid of PA as much as possible was a quick "fix" for it; if you have good recipes for ~/.asoundrc that result in a working Skype+PA setup, those would be appreciated. I'm pretty sure I've already tried stuff at http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#Skype to no avail.
