It seems that now skype uses slightly different pulse-related libraries. I was able to start skype from the command line after several (4 or 5) attempts. After that:
# lsof -c skype | fgrep pulse
It did not show libpulse-simple, but I disabled it as well anyway. After that:
# cd /usr/lib32
# chmod a-r libpulse.so.0.12.3 libpulsecommon-0.9.22.so libpulse-simple.so.0.0.3
Now Skype starts fine.
FYI: I did this on Ubuntu/Natty (beta2) rather than Maverick, but it seems that maverick has the same versions of libpulse libraries.
