The Skype protocol allows us to choose the audio in and audio out for 
each call:

https://developer.skype.com/Docs/ApiDoc/Voice_Streams
Knowing what audio devices is associated with each Yealink device is 
also possible. (they are on the  same USB hub )

By pinging, I meant checking if the VoIP app is alive.
Nevertheless, even if no VoIP app is alive, but at least one device is 
plugged, then the daemon must be alive and every now and then ping the 
VoIP app, so that it can automatically work whenever it is open.

By the way, if we want to have two different daemons talking to the same 
skype, they must report different names, or else Skype will go crazy. So 
there must be a configuration option for that.

Now if we want to have two different Skypes on the same machine, I don't 
know how to do it, because at least  XInternAtom(display, 
"_SKYPE_INSTANCE", 1); returns the first instance if finds.
I launched one Skype normally and the other one through ssh -X 
user2@localhost. Does anybody has any better ideas ?

Maybe DBUS works different.

ps: Daniel, thanks. Now things make sence.
