No skype sound

I'm running Debian etch with ALSA on a desktop with an Audigy sound
card. Although the sound system works, I can't get skype to access my
sound card.
I rebooted and reconfigured ALSA and ran $ aplay test.wav It produced
the test sound.
An obvious question: It is my understanding that my webcam (Logitech
Quickcam Pro for notebooks) has a mike build in. Is that so?
Another obvious question: I'm not using the Logitech Quickcam Pro for
Notebook with a notebook but with a desktop. Does that make any
difference?
I'm running skype 2.1.0.47. I installed the uvc driver:
$ dmesg | grep uvcvideo
[ 19.673176] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0991)

$ dmesg

In the terminal in which I start skype, I get:
$ skype
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM null
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM null
$ lsmod | grep uvc

usbcore 119216 7

Apparently skype runs in background even if user window is
closed. I get nothing returned from the fuser command:
$ fuser -v /dev/snd/*
