Vitalie's idea made some things work better even though the net result 
wasn't complete success.  Thanks for the good idea as progress was made 
-- for smaller, but measurable values of "progress."
On the minus side, the changes to skype.conf did not open a stable 
working session of the program.
On the plus side, though, leaving the altered skype.conf in place and 
starting manually creates a skype session that is noticeably more stable 
and the configuration changes made to audio input / output by 
pavucontrol stick and don't change between active sessions like they did 
before.
Now, if it were only a one-click loader thingy ... cue the Rolling 
Stones ...
