It uses the skype api, then is the api (the skype propietary client)
who decodes the sound (adding some latency). Then the sip part may be
including some extra latency. It sould use a low latency codec,
compression is not needed in a local machine...

But there is a big problem with this program: it needs windows to run,
adding failure point to the circuit... and then needing of an extra
machine only for acting as gateway: bad solution.

I think we will need to wait until someone hacked the skype
protocol... If there is someone interested on doing it.
