 Realtek ALC888 codec doesn't have hardware loopback to record from
 playback. Quite few HDA codecs can do this now, so this feature is not
 even implemented in snd_hda driver. But even if it would be possile,
 switching recording from mic to post-mix would cause echo to your Skype
 peer, as Skype would also recorded what it just played.
