Takashi,

checking frames still 122 in frame #1 is way over my expertise.

With this asound.conf file It plays but choppy audio.

defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0

pcm.card0 {
  type hw
  card 0
}

pcm.dmixer {
  type dmix
  ipc_key 1025
  slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
    period_time 0
    period_size 2048
    buffer_size 32768
    rate 48000
  }
  bindings {
    0 0
    1 1
  }
}
pcm.skype {
  type asym

  playback.pcm "dmixer"
  capture.pcm "card0"
}

pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "skype"
}
