I once used Skype. It doesn't have a really nice configurable sound
connector at all, so the trick is to configure ALSA (via asoundrc) to
(per default) use pulse:
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
Skype will simply use the default device and thus use Pulse, which in
turn will use the ALSA hardware driver to send/receive sounds to the
two sound cards.
