Tried several test calls.

No audio!

Looked at options-> Audio device.
It only shows virtual device, and no drop down menu for any other
device.

Make sure Skype is using PulseAudio server (local) for all three of
options (mic, speakers, ringing). Click on the "Open PulseAudio
Volume
Control".
There is no such clickable button.
For all 3 mic speakers and ring, it simply shows Virtual Audio.
For each, the drop-down menu shows no alternatives.

While that's open, click "Make a test sound" on Skype and while
the VU
meter associated with Skype's sounds displays in the PulseAudio
window,
select the correct output sink device. You have to be quick (it's
one
thing I hate about Pulse--chasing transient sounds like this).
There is no such tab or button.

Are you sue you are referring to version skype-4.3.0.37 ??

[rick@prophead ~]$ skype --version
Skype 4.3.0.37
© 2014 Skype and/or Microsoft

So, yes. I am using the Xfce desktop on F21, more or less fully
updated.
I also have this Pulse stuff installed:

[root@prophead ~]# rpm -qa | grep pulse
pulseaudio-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-6.0-4.fc21.i686
pulseaudio-libs-devel-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.28-3.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-utils-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-x11-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.28-3.fc21.i686

You may need the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio for 32-bit installed
(Skype is
a 32-bit app).
Installed alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and it works now.

Thanx!

You're quite welcome! Glad you got it sorted out.
I just wish that installing it should have also installed the dependency
on alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.

Well, it is listed as a dependency in the Skype RPM:

     [root@prophead ~]# rpm -qa --requires skype | grep alsa
     alsa-plugins-pulseaudio(x86-32)

The size looks odd (normally, 32-bit stuff have nothing at the end,

ARG! Not "size" but "arch". Sheesh, I gotta learn to type and proofread
this better!

64-bit requirements are denoted by "(64bit)") so maybe that throws
it off (it is an F16 RPM after all), but I'd expect dnf or yum or rpm to
complain that alsa-plugins-pulseaudio wasn't installed and ask you if
you wanted to install it. The source RPM for Skype isn't available (of
course), so it's hard to see what their spec file's "Requires:"
sections look like.

I think the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio stuff is only needed if you're
running Pulse. If you're running a pure ALSA platform then you don't
need it. That'd be rare, I agree, but it's possible and that may explain
why it wasn't installed.
