Skype can be frustrating.  I've been using it for a while and to get it 
working
properly, I had to change from the on-board via sound to real sound cards on
several machines.  It now works wonderfully.  I'm only using it with current
but with different sound cards.  Each is enabled in the machines loader.conf.
I'm using kde and don't know how much of a difference that might make.  You
might want to look at http://forum.skype.com/bb/ and do a freebsd and other
search.  I found some interesting sysctl suggestions, that I didn't actually
need in the end but you might just get lucky. :)

Good luck, in my opinion it is worth the work.
