AFAIK skype doesn't use pulseaudio so the lack of pulseaudio should
not be a problem. But I maybe wrong. What the OP can try would be to
use the EPEL packages for pulseaudio. However that has a
*considerable* *risk* of making his installation unstable as those
packages are merely Fedora packages repackaged for RHEL and RHEL
derivatives.
