Also confirming #44.  I added the solution as a workaround to the issue
header.  If there are other solutions that work for folks, please add
those there as well.

** Description changed:

  A lot of users are having the following problem, reported to the Skype
  forum with no oficial answer from Skype:
  
  Skype keep stops responding randomly afres seconds or minutes, without
  an apparent reason.
  
  It kept silently freezing, with the interface *still appearing to be
  working* - but to all my friends I would appear off-line and my instant
  messages would not go through - and on trying to quit Skype it would
  freeze and I would have to quit with pgrep skype and then kill -s 9.I've
  to kill the process to be able to launch it again. I've read a lot of
  people with the same problem in the other forum posts (the old forum?).

- It seems to be affecting everyone I know using a 64bit version of Ubuntu (I'm using 12.04 and Skype package from the partner repository) under different hardware setups.
+ WORKAROUND #1: Within the application, navigate to Skype » Options »
+ Sound devices.  Uncheck "Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer
+ levels", and hit the Apply button.
