I am running Debian Squeeze 64bit and ran into a similar issue as well. Unfortunately I can't find the link right now, but I did find something that says if you are running 64bit, you should make the 32bit libraries for pulseaudio not readable. This seems to make Skype work. The other thing that I found was that if you switched the output to digital, in PulseAudio volume control, that seems to get it working as well. One side affect is that other sounds may stop working until you switch back to analog output.
