You have to install the 32-bit versions of the libraries to get Skype 
working.  Type the command:

yum provides libasound.so.2

You should get a list of packages, pick the most recent one and do a yum 
install:

yum install alsa-lib-1.0.21-3.fc12.i686

I happen to have F12 on my laptop, probably a different package name for 
F14, but make sure you include the .i686 to get the 32bit package.

Most likely there will be some other stuff you need too - I believe 
Skype depends on Qt, but just repeat the 'yum provides' + 'yum install' 
sequence for each dependency in turn and you should soon have it working.
