I applied the above and now the microphone in Skype works again. I assume the

nicely with PipeWire only. I suppose at some point PulseAudio will be
completely replaced by PipeWire and applications will update their code
accordingly.
Pipewire recommends using the pulseaudio API anyway, at least for now:

Which makes sense. Pipewire is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for
both pulseaudio and jack. And both of those aren't dead. It makes sense
for applications to try and work on any system, regardless of whether
pipewire is used or not.
