Okay, but what about skype?

First of all, under Debian I needed to install
libasound2-plugins.

With this in place, running jackd and a JACKified .asoundrc
audio Adobe Flash videos under Firefox gets to the audio
hardware.

Having installed alsa-oss, the following produces sound:

        aoss bplay somefile.wav

However invoking

        skype

does not locate the audio device, and

        aoss skype

emits an error message:

        ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaoss.so'
        from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

This problem remains after replacing the previous 32-bit
client by a new 64-bit client.

FWIW, I found this snippet in ~/.Skype/shared.xml

    <VoiceEng>
      <AudioLib>1</AudioLib>
      <MicBoost>
        <_1>-1</_1>
        <Default.20device.20.28default.29>0</Default.20device.20.28default.29>
      </MicBoost>
      <MicVolume>
        <_1>100</_1>
        <Default.20device.20.28default.29>20</Default.20device.20.28default.29>
      </MicVolume>
    </VoiceEng>

Any tips would be welcome.
