Good luck. By the way, the pulse devices come from a customized ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.pulse { type pulse }
ctl.pulse { type pulse }
On my desktop, the problem with Skype was fixed by installing libasound2-plugins version 1.0.16 and setting the "Sound Out" and "Ringing" devices to "pulse". That computer uses a SiS chip with AC97...
Open Sound Preferences (System->Preferences->Sound). Then go to the Sound tab. Enable software mixing. It says ESD there, but it'll start Pulseaudio when booting.
I'd suggest leaving out the "plug:" portion. Just this would be sufficient:
slave.pcm "surround40"
I'd like to mention that Skype 2.0.0.68 works fine for me using ALSA's pcm_pulse plugin. My configuration is as follows:
Sound In: SiS SI7012 (hw:SI7012,0)
Sound Out: pulse
Ringing: pulse

Experiment with your "Sound In" device. It doesn't need to use pulse.
My word, you're right! O_o IT WORKED! But I took a look at pavucontrol, and Skype kept blinking! That means the bug is in libasound then?
You were right about the multiple connections thing. When I tried initiating a call, it opened and closed 55 connections. Then it stopped and complained of a prob with audio playback.
Awesome! Wait, let me try it out over here. If it happens on Archlinux as well then it's definitely an upstream bug ;)
Make sure you have module-hal-detect enabled in your /etc/pulse/default.pa
One of PulseAudio's major features is the ability to switch from sound sink to sound sink transparently. Since you have an Audigy you shouldn't have a problem with Skype, as that supports hardware...
As far as I know, Skype and Pulseaudio's ALSA plugin never worked with Ubuntu Hardy. Not once. You'd see Skype in the clients list, but you won't hear sound.
@psyke83: Sorry, but I'm on Archlinux...
If you still didn't have sound after using padsp, then you didn't follow what I said about getting Skype OSS. The default version is using ALSA. You need to download Skype static OSS or skype-oss...
What was the output? If you don't show the output then nobody can help you with the padsp method.
Get Skype OSS and run it with "padsp skype" instead of just "skype".

It's a howto I prepared ages back....
What tweaks are you talking about?
That's a rather interesting way of doing it. I've never thought of using this method for a system-wide equalizer. However, I'd like to point out a few things regarding your default.pa.txt.
