I finally solved this headache.
Thought others might want to know how.

Once skype starts up get to the options tab start playing with Sound Devices.

What worked for me were these options:

Sound In:    QuickCam Pro 9000 (the combo camera/microphone attached to the box)
Sound Out:   HDA NVidia (hw:NVidia,0)
Ringing:     Default Device

Note the major caveat:  This is a KDE system; and arts needs the entire KDE package.

Once working, making a desktop launcher is trivial.
