One thing you might want to try, which is much simpler than the ideas you
suggested, is to use iptables: Run Skype, and then use iptables'
"--pid-owner" or "--cmd-owner" option to add an iptables rule which will
allow traffic from this process. Then use "iptables -nvL" to get the count
of packets and bytes that passed through this rule.

I haven't tried this approach, but according to the manual it should work
(on a one CPU kernel).
