[Andrea Gallo <980320@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Skype was working for me up to Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit then since upgrading to 13.10 it started crashing silently. Especially when receiving or sending an instant message with a skype contact. The Skype UI app was freezing but the top bar icon was still active though pretty useless.
 
I have followed the suggestion in #44 by kanaifu about going to Skype Options > Sound devices and making sure that PulseAudio is used everywhere and then after all menu options disable the "allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels".

It was enabled and after disabling it now I see it works properly again.
No silent crash anymore.

Thank you!
