Skype and pulseaudio

Hello, I've recently moved to pulseaudio on my x64 setup and almost everything is working perfectly, apart from a small issue with Skype.
I followed the the wiki and now Skype can use pulseaudio, but when I start it it makes any sound I may be playing (from basically any source) skip for half a second.
I realize it's a very minor issue, but annoying nevertheless.
In the pulseaudio logs, I see this:

The "underrun" notices are probably the issue here, but I couldn't find informations on similar errors.
Thanks for the help!

EDIT: from time to time, I also get some crackling sound after/during skype notifications.
