This is most likely a misunderstanding on your side and that of Skype.
Phonon is a media API and thus not what they are investigating here.

True, Skype on Linux uses Qt, thus could use Phonon, however just like any 
other program it can use whatever sound API they want without interfering with 
Phonon using apps as long as the two media frameworks in use can share the 
same output method (ALSA, Pulse Audio, whatever).

Cheers,
Kevin
