Thats a function of the bluetooth stack. Go ahead and pair your
bluetooth headset to your PC it will work like any audio device. Any
softphone that supports selecting the input source should work. With
the Widcomm bluetooth stack anyways....

Not that I am aware. Skype is proprietary and closed platform.

Not that I am aware. Even the draconian DMCA laws permit circumvention
of these digital "copyright protection" mechanisms for software
interoperability.
