to figure this out was by chance and a littlen bit thinking. Someone in the skype forum told, he installed skype 4.2 and it connected. So I downgraded skypeo from 4.3 to 4.2 and at the first start it connected, too. Then I disconnected from the skype-servers and tried to reconnect. There was no way to reconnect. However, now I knew, connecting is possible, but the server inhibits. Now I looked into the package, the only main difference I saw in the linux package, that the skype binary was different. The skype.conf and other files were the same. As I am no coder, my idea was, that the skype server just check the version of the binary. the command skype --version told me the version, and I thought, this version must be named somewhere in the binary. The rest was simple: I opened the binary with a hexeditor and searched for the version: 4.2.0.11 and then changed this to the actual version. Doing so, the old binary behaves as the 4.2 version, but tells the skype-server, hey, I am 4.3.0.37. That way the skype server allows connecting again. I am no coder, a real coder would have disassembled the 4.3 skype binary and put alsa support back. My way was much more simple and more a "hack". :) Have fun!
