Please provide useful debug information, a fix or talk to skype upstream if you believe it's their fault.

We only deal with packaging bugs here and this doesn't look like one. For configuration help or similar please try google, the forums, mailing lists or IRC.

I agree with you, my report was a littke bit light, but I thinked that I was not the first !
For me Spyke worked pecfectly, except the microphone, no crash, no messages. I don't know where search and what.
Where is the log file for Skype, if does it exist ?
What do you want as explanations or informations about my configuration ?
I mind my message did not help you to understand the problem (if there is a problem) and of course to fix it.
Please explain to me how I can give to you the right informations and to who. I'm quiet sure it does not a package bug.

Edit 23/11/2012
With the new version 4.1.0.20 the microphones work perfectly (front and rear).
Could you close this report.
Thanks.

You should try asking around in the forums, mailing lists or on IRC if google doesn't provide anything useful. It's most likely a problem with your audio setup or the audio settings in skype, but something like that is easier on IRC than on slow media like the bug tracker.

It isn't a setup problem. On the PC there are two micro input (rear and front) and in the Skype's setup we have to choose which device we want : default, hw:0.0 or hw:0.2. I tried all possibilities, with the help to alsamixer for the levels, booster and so on, and anyone worked. With the version 2.2.0-35 of Skype hw:0.0 = rear and hw:0.2 = front (or the opposite doesn't matter) and the both are working on the both PC.
Before to write this report I posted on the forum, of course. Here you are http://forums.archlinux.fr/topic11611.html.
I didn't get answer and so I wrote a bug report. But if I'm alone to get this kind of problem, don't worry forget it.
