If you do not want Skype to use PulseAudio, then presumably you do not
want to use PulseAudio at all (it doesn't really make sense to combine
the two). This being the case, just disable it in draksound.


Alternatively what problems do you have with your USB headesets and the
Philips VOIP microphone with PA? If there is a problem we need to fix
it, not work around it. Please can you post details as to why you cannot
use e.g. pavucontrol, kmix or KDE's system settings to change the device
you want to use for Skype input or if the problem is more fundamental.

Cheers
