I tried that, worked perfectly, thanks!

For who? I looked at the code for module-combine, I can't say that it
looked trivial. At least not for me, I've never seen pulsaudio module
code before, but I develop software for a living.

How long would it take, if you guessed, for someone who have no prior
knowledge of pulseaudio to to create such a module?

Does the project have a feature wishlist? :)

(On a side note; this has driven me absolutely crazy. I never thought
connecting two or more headsets to skype at the same time would be this
difficult. I've spent days on it, without succeeding.)
