Im trying to feed a live skype call into a pd patch for a radio broadcast. Could someone help me with how to get the signal from the skype call into pd?

In my limited experience (on Win-XP presently), this is simply achieved by double-clicking the volume icon in the desktop tray, and then setting recording properties to "stereo-mix",.. which delivers everything you hear into [adc~].
