Of course not. If it were possible, then anyone who happens to know
your IP address could, at any time, stream some audio to your
speakers. That's what's generally known as a "security hole".

Nope. Skype is a proprietary, locked up, closed software.
This functionality, sending audio to your Skype peer, would have to be
explicitly supported in the Skype software. If it's not, there's
nothing that you can do.

Hello,
Unfortunately this feature is not currently available in Skype.
We will pass on your request to our development team for consideration
and potential inclusion in a future release.
Best regards,
