Skype calls on Traktor

I wanted to be able to accept Skype calls on Traktor, so I looked for a recipe and found one for SAM, How to Record Skype in SAM Broadcaster.  The main change from previous solo voice on mic setup is instead of connecting the mic to the mic in of the primary soundcard, connect it to a secondary soundcard configured to be used for Skype mic and Skype speakers, then take a patch cable and go from the speaker out of the secondary soundcard to the mic in of the primary soundcard and connect everything to Traktor using Virtual Audio Cable as before.  The deck set to Audio Through will be live and now can invite callers to be heard on the stream.  Far from first ever, but still, for me, a first.
