And the opposite is also true. I've tried a few Skype Certified
devices, and generally the audio works (though in some cases it's (IMO)
unnecessarily turned off unless Skype is in a call, perhaps so you don't
hear the beeps and squeaks a PC normally makes) And almost universally,
a Skype keypad can't be used by non Skype clients.
We were thinking of writing a Skype emulation layer to enable all these
devices, has anyone already started down this path?

There are some "Skype Certified" hardware devices appearing. These
usually have buttons that mimic the software buttons on the Skype
client. In doing that they use the Skype API directly.
They may work as normal handsets with other soft phones, but I've
never tried this.
The above is sort of misleading information in my opinion.
It's true that any of the USB phones can function as audio devices,
but if you expect the KEYPAD on the device to work (notice the devices
he mentions have none), the softphone needs to support that specifically.
