Welcome to hell, or at least a steep learning curve ... I did get FC12/skype-beta/amd64 working for my mate. (nicely) You may need to set the card volume etc with alsamixer -c 0 (RFM) I set pulsepreferences to allow shared output I also needed to use pavucontrol and gnome-volume-control. Neither would do everything! Ring your skype, and while ringing, use a volume control to set speaker volume (apps not output). You will need to find equivalent for kde. Now answer then set headset (I assume) and both ear and mike volumes. Behold skype works sweetly, remembers to ring on speaker, and talk on headset. knowing it does work makes it easier to get working. I don't know what yum does, I went to skype and downloaded the rpm.
