Skype vs Linux

I work in Ubuntu, everything is fine except for Skype, which unfortunately I can not refuse.
It costs Ubuntu 11.10 with the latest updates. Installed from Ubuntu Alternate CD.
Skype works and at some point stops receiving / sending messages. Attempts to close it are unsuccessful, it can only be killed through kill -9. At the same time, nothing suspicious happens, it does not give any errors.
I don't know where to dig anymore. If there are people who successfully coped with such a problem, respond.

Blame pulseaudio. I once wrote on Skype about this bug, they did not answer anything intelligible. Start skype, do pulseaudio -k - voila!

That's right. pulseaudio is still fabulous shit.
The first thing I do after installing any distribution is to mow pulseaudio entirely from the system (and at the same time the shell from the new gnome). This procedure helps not only Skype, but also ~ 80% of applications working with sound.

It seems that I had this on a 64-bit Fedorka.
In the Skype settings there is an item "Check for updates" (Options-> Advanced-> Check for updates).
Removed the daw - it stopped falling.

it's hard to say something ... have you tried the previous version of Skype?

And at me it at start falls with enviable constancy. Once on the 7-8th, it still stops falling and you can chat a little.
Moreover, the problem seems to be well-known, and people unsubscribed 100 times on the Skype forum.
But proprietorism is such proprietorship ...

Is the system 32 or 64 bit? Skype was downloaded from the site, or from the Ubuntu repository?

@YourChief

in such cases it helped me to download statically linked skype

In Ubuntu, the pulse is still used, all the troubles because of it. This has already been discussed many times. As an option - drank the pulse nafig and use naked Alsa, you will be happy. Skype never slowed me down in Ghent =)

Since there is such a topic here, I'll ask one more question so as not to put QA.
I have Skype x64 and it throws the system into a swap with enviable regularity (for 8GB of RAM). Didn't find a solution on google. Maybe you can advise?
