“Skype on linux works great but the problem that I
faced was that it does not handle the buttons on the bluetooth
headsets. My wife uses skype to call into her work related

skype) just to switch mute on and off. So, I whipped up this little
trick to do so. Here is how:“1. First I looked at the skype API (pretty simple, based on
dbus). Also found a sample script somewhere that allowed to answer
and hang up calls through skype API.”
