D-Bus could do that, but given the latency requirements, maybe it's not 
the best option.

In any case, you have to ask the Skype developers first how to inject 
sound data from the phone into skype and the other way around.

It might be easier to just configure Skype to use that, since it detects 
USB sound devices.
