Actually, it works fine in Skype when using "AD1989B Analog (hw: 0,2)". I
was confused because I changed only "Speakers" to that device and tried
making a test sound. That did not work, apparently test sound goes to
whatever "Ringing" is set to. But when making actual calls, it works as
expected and I can take advantage of the Independent HP feature.
