I'm using the new "skype alpha for linux" for some weeks and can say that it is
more stable than the other version ever was. 
- writing and calling is working out of the box
- it looks more or less like the windows version

It ships a "ffmpeg.so" and a "libnode.so".

The only thing I had to emerge on my amd64-XFCE systems was the gnome-keyring,
but that's it!
