Description:
Skype audio is broken when using pulseaudio 4.0. When a call is started the speaker emits only a continuous crackling whistle. Other audio programs work fine (Amarok, videos on youtube).
As reported here:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=163916

a fix consists in appending "tsched=0" to "load-module module-udev-detect" in /etc/pulse/default.pa. This fix works for me.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
skype 4.2.0.11-1 from multilib
lib32-libpulse 4.0-2
libpulse 4.0-2
pulseaudio 4.0-2

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install the above packages on a x86_64 system
2) Start a test call with skype (do it twice if at first shot there is no sound)
This task depends upon
