Assuming that the UI includes the part how the audio stream reaches the audio driver, this is great news. Someone could finally fix the audio issues (use ALSA non-exclusively or even make it use PulseAudio). Furthermore, this would make it possible to bridge skype and FreeSwitch or Asterisk. Imagine making skype calls an integrated part of your company's telephone network without resorting to dirty tricks!
