Of course not. If it were possible, then anyone who happens to know your IP 
address could, at any time, stream some audio to your speakers. That's 
what's generally known as a "security hole".

Nope. Skype is a proprietary, locked up, closed software.

This functionality, sending audio to your Skype peer, would have to be 
explicitly supported in the Skype software. If it's not, there's nothing 
that you can do.
