Hi, guys,

Ubuntu 13.10 x64, Skype 4.2.0.11

I've experienced the same issue. Following messages where appearing in
the console (the segfault crash happened after ending a video call):

pk@dassburger-ux32a:~$ skype
ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters CARD=PCH
ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:CARD=PCH

skype: hcontrol.c:326: _snd_hctl_find_elem: Assertion `hctl && id' failed.

pk@dassburger-ux32a:~$ ls

The issue seems to be solved by installing libasound2-plugins for i386
arch:

$ sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386

After this, no error messages in the console, and no crash after video
call.
