Well. I went back to ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk and I have to
download the Ubuntu AMD64 version from Skype again so I can install it
without having to force it to do it by using the i386 version. But, I
founded that the new Skype version doesn't work with the ia32-libs
official package from Debian repositories unless you delete some files
from /usr/lib32 as suggested on the post referenced on bug #546281.

This is just to let others knows if they have the same problem than me :-)

Greetings.

Why don't you just use the statically compiled version?
Unpack it in a directory and run it from there.

The statically compiled version has the same problem and solution that
the .deb package version. You'll  have to delete the
/usr/lib32/libpulse.*
