Hi!
Check if you have the latest version of libasound2(1.0.20-2) and 
lib32asound2(1.0.20-2). There was a problem with version 1.0.20-1. When 
I upgraded to 1.0.20-1 skype started crashing on my machine with a 
message (I can't remember now) about alsa. Fortunately debian people 
fixed it fast.
Hope this helps.
Deyan.
