She isn't able to answer more than one call... :-)

0.90.0.4 (ports/net/skype) has some bugfixes.

Their headquarter is ~one hour away from here... but their development
team seems to be spread around the world.

The OSS documentation from 4front suggests to use this ioctl if you want
to use full duplex functionality. I think it's a bug that we don't
support those ioctls. But let's hope there will be a workaround in skype
(if this is the reason why we aren't able to use skype).
