    Skype and mic problem is SOLVED!

    You helped me sugesting to try another audio mixer. I've never thought that
    could be a problem with mixer. But KMix have a bug when working with any mic.
    Other features works ok. I think that KMix was main problem, but here what
    I've done to make Skype to work.

    First, I've upgraded ALSA from 1.0.6 to 1.0.8. I've found ALSA for SUSE at
    Packman.
    In KDE Control Center at sound system, hardware tab, for audio device,
    selected ALSA, not Autodetect.
    Then uninstaled KMix, and instaled KAMix (works better then gamix), and that's
    it.
    I've run "alsaconf" after upgrade of ALSA, and configuration of sound card
    with YaST, but I'm sure, problem was with audio mixer, not with ALSA or OSS
    emulation or arts.
    Now, Skype works OK and people hear me as it should. I have analog headphones,
    but good idea is to buy USB ones. It works with SUSE as I've learned.

    And now, it's time for nex issue...
