Quite often I'd like to share something I've been listening to over Skype, live.

I've learned fairly well how to juggle both my headphone and sound card devices under windows XP while using Skype (although I consider Windows sound interface pretty incoherent and muddled); e.g. I can play an .mp3 on my computer speakers _or_ mix it in with the voice I'm hearing over my Skype (Plantonics) headset (although in the latter case I cannot control relative volume of the skype caller's voice vs. music (<-help with that would also be appreciated.))

But I know of no way that music I play on my computer can also be sent over the skype connection so that the person I'm calling hears it too, except for the crude expedient of routing the music to my sound card/speakers and placing the headset mic close to the speakers.

I'm sure that others must have wanted to be able to send music or other audio sources live over the Skype connection as well. Anyone know how to do this?

One slightly related (less important) question (probably should be in another post, but oh well): Is there any way to mix in my own voice into what I'm hearing in the headphones? I'm used to this type of feedback from regular telephones.


Thanks for your help.
