It works! 
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype 

but now it would be great to have it operational out of the box, without
a need to run from CLI, and also make webcam to work  in Google Chrome.

How can I avoid using "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" 
to start my application by clicking on icon?
Possibly symlinking this library somewhere to make it available for all apps at 
one time???

Because creating the start script like "skype.sh" with appropriate
command and then replacing the original Skype icon in menu with this
script, and repeat that for all uncompatible programms - looks ugly for
me.
