[Asterisk-Users] Skype API release

[Jay Milk]

Doesn't look like it -- the API is fairly limited and only available for
Windows devices at this time... and to top it all off, it's based on
Windows messages, which are inherently unreliable and slow.  Skimming
through 28 pages of documentation, I have not been able to find a way to
redirect audio-streams either, which would not only be required for *
integration, but also for the IVR solutions Skype claims would now be
possible.

does this mean that Skype can now be developed to interface into
Asterisk?
 
Also interesting comment about Skype possibly being interfaced directly
into a gaming solution for online game chats, does anyone know if
Asterisk has been licensed to offer something similar? Sounds like an
area that could be worth investing in.
