Yes, but where?  The device that I'm not able to use has a C-Media 
Electronics CM108 Audio Controller 0d8c:013c.  Google that and you get 
carefully worded instructions on configuring sound output on your 
Raspberry Pi, which, apparently, has one soldered on the main 
motherboard.  When not there, the chip seems to be mostly used for USB 
5.1 and 7.1 audio soundcards.  And, everything I find there, says to use 
ALSA at which point the Ourobourous known as Skype bites its tail.
