It took a while and some non-default boot options, but I managed to: 1) start QEMU and boot from CD Mepis 3.4.3 ; 2) inside (QEMU + Mepis 3.4.3) to invoke Skype (comes with the Mepis CD); 3) register a new account with Skype; 4) hear the echo123 test message and recorded message of mine. The machine should be faster than mine (the sound is choppy, I didn't try to give QEMU higher than default priority), but I think thanks to QEMU Skype is debuggable/traceable. Skype continues working after I make a pause in QUEMU emulation. During the pause one can dump/examine memory, registers, etc. Skype itself worked out of the (KDE GUI) box.
