Bonjour,
I am wondering how to prevent skype from stealing the soud card everytime some of my contacts connect (even if he does not ring me)? i.e.: a contact open skype while I am listening to some music, the music is cut and I have to close skype (which is in stand-by) if I want to recover my music
Thanks for every suggestion.

Did you turn off Pulseaudio? Because it's supposed to prevent this behavior.

No! skype uses pulseaudio (it is the only choice I have in the options.
I listen to music by the way of xmms which does not semm to use pulseaudio: I cannot see any reference to pulseaudion in xmms options.
Thanks for having answered.

For XMMS, you would need to install the separate "xmms-pulse" package, which includes the output driver for Pulse Audio. Note that it isn't trouble-free and not well-maintained.
If you don't know any good reason to stick to old XMMS, you could switch to Audacious: http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/XMMS-vs-Audacious_Screenshot.png
