I've already tried to work on the file /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Skype
Comment=Skype Internet Telephony
Exec=PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U
Icon=skype.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Network;Application;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/skype;
X-KDE-Protocols=skypeBut that doesn't work - it just makes the skype button disppear
The fix to make the skype.desktop link work is here http://arunraghavan.net/2013/08/pulseau … and-skype/
If you are packaging Skype for your distribution, you need to change the Exec line in your Skype .desktop file as follows:
Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype %U
I found that the given '60' figure worked for me better than the '30' figure.

$ PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype
Thanks a lot! That worked for me in Debian after chaning the Exec line of Skype's desktop file to:
Exec=bash -c "PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U"
That's a good solution unless the issue is fixed.
]]>In fact, one can just sudo vi `which skype` and modify the last line to read:
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 exec "$LIBDIR/skype/skype" "$@"

This seemed to work for me. speex-float-0 didn't but speex-float-10 does.
How do I apply that solution?
Do I have to load a module?

Then make your launcher or whatever point to this script. Untested. (And don't forget to make the script executable)
Another option would be to make the setting PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 permanent and system wide via the pulseaudio configuration (or in ~/.xinit... ), but I didn't test that for any negative effects on other audio applications.

Wow, that's a good hint ! But one question: This is working pretty well when I start Skype from the command line. But how can I tell Gnome to launch the Skype starter with this option?
