Actually, Ray, I use Core Audio all the time with Skype, and it works fine.

  Well, you can but try.  May I suggest you attempt the agrigation and then 
call the Skype test to see what’s what?  My guess is it will not work because 
the Skype API will not allow access to your core audio.

    Guys,

    I have a sort of interesting situation going on here, and wanted to see if 
anyone could shed some light on this before 3 PM eastern today, when I have to 
do my Skype music lesson with my new student.

    The thing is, she's wanting to have me help her with a few songs 
specifically that she can't seem to figure out the chords to, and she's not at 
a position where she can acquire sheet music, nor guitar tabs or the like.  I 
really can't go into more than that, as I protect my studentss' privacy, but 
anyway, here's the issue.

    I have a 16 channel audio interface, which connects via USB to my mac.  The 
problem is, with how my studio currently is designed, we're doing some 
remodelling, so therefore for right now temporarily, I can't get my microphone 
stand over near my digital piano.  It's gotta be all the way across the room.

    I have a USB microphone, but here is my question.  If I use two different 
USB ports on my mac, one for the interface, and one for my USB microphone, can 
I then combine the two devices into one?  I know that in audio/midi setup under 
Utilities, I can create an aggregate device, which is great, and trust me, I've 
done it many times before, but when doing so, it's normally so I can combine 
the output of one device and the input of another.  I've never tried taking the 
input of two devices, and combining them into one.

    Basically, what my objective in doing this is, is, I want to be able to use 
that cheap little mike for now vbia USB to talk to this student, and have it 
transmit my voice.  But then, I'd like to be able to patch my piano directly 
into the input rather than miking it.  To do this though would require that I 
connect a stereo audio patch cable from the line out of my piano, to the 
red/white in on my interface.  That definitely would work, but then, I can't 
plug the microphone into the interface, being it's USB, and not XLR.  That's 
why I want to take the input from my interface, and the input of the USB mike, 
and aggregate them both into one input device, if that makes sense.

    Yes, theoretically, if the mike is an issue, I could just use my IPhone 
with the Skype app, but then I can't record the Skype call with Skhype Call 
Recorder from Matthew Galligor, which she is wanting me to do.  It's not a big 
deal if I can't get the piano patched directly.  It's not a show stopper, but 
that said, it would really really be a very nice touch, and definitely would 
increase my credibility of professionalism.  If I can manage to get it 
aggregated, then I'll be in business.  The rest I know exactly! how to 
configure.  I just don't know if you can combine two inputs, or does it have to 
be one in, one out, at which point, that wouldn't work in my scenareo.

    Thank you for any help.

    Chris.
