Usually the pavucontrol app does this. When a call starts, open
pavucontrol (or Applications -> Sound & Video -> PulseAudio Volume
Control), find your Skype call in the Streams list, right-click and
pick the device you want that call to use.

As the note at the bottom of the Streams tab says, this appears to
only modify the output device, not the input device. That would
explain why Skype stubbornly continued to use only the built-in mic in
my case.

Hope that helps,
Mike
