[NM, bug found, will just wait]No Audio Playback in Skype

I just installed skype and found the error "Failed: Problem with audio playback" to occur even on just the test call.  I followed the instructions on the wiki to make it use dmix, but this didn't help either.

the output when i run it in the command prompt is:
