Small note to the Skype developers, who are probably extremely busy fixing the 'device-blocking-bug' and bringing Skype to ALSA:

Try to send a file with an Umlaut in the name, like 'Tästfile': Skype shows the Umlaut as 2 boxes, but the file is not send. Rename the file to 'Taestfile' and it works.

Small bug compared to the other one, but worth to mention.

Cheers
