I have found a challenge in testing it in a good way although the site it comes from claims it works for Skype. The reason is that I can't fumble with the audio repeater windows and get a recording started with a call within the real short period of time between when the driver loads and when the word trial starts going down both virtual cables almost simultaneously. I thought it was 2 or 3 minutes from the time the repeater program is loaded, but it seems to be timed from when the sound drivers load up. For $40 or so, one can eliminate that message and it probably will work fine. You really don't want the buffer delay default of 1 second, but that is easily changed.
