I have always been looking for a way to get this done but I have never seen the fix. Can someone please help me out? Thanks! =)

I suggest using Fring instead of the skype client. It handles skype calls just fine, but has the added advantage of being a pretty good im client for a variety of services including AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google and Skype. I think it might do voice on MSN as well.

Gaaaah, I hate to bump my threads, but I'm sure there is a way for this to be done. =x

It seems like it may depend on the headset. I tried a couple of motorola stereo headsets (ht820 and motorokr s9) and both worked with sound and mic when I was using them (I can't remember what rom I was using at the time because I've gone through too many).
Currently I'm using a Jabra 8010 and I haven't figured a way to get the mic to work. I can't remember if I was able to use it paired as a headset as opposed to wireless stereo before.
Either way, if you can pair your device as "wireless stereo" you should be able to get the sound through the headset at least and you will be talking through the handset like you would if it were on speaker phone (no sound will come out of the phone's speakers)

I will give that a try.
