Yes, it does work under Gnome, however we use KDE.
There does not seem to be away in KDE of setting which devices are
used by the pulseaudio default sound device.
Also the applications, such as Skype, only sees the PulseAudio
sound device and so cannot choose a specific input or output device.

Actually does the design of PulseAudio allow an application to choose
to use a specific input/output device ? If not I would consider this
a major failing ....
