How to record & save skype call communication by c#

I am trying to record & save skype call communications using c#, but it is only working half-way. When I call a mobile number from skype and connects, then what they are saying is not being recorded, but what I am saying is being recorded & saved.

I just do not understand why the other person's voice is not getting recorded & saved. Here is my code:

public void Skype_CallStatus(Call call, TCallStatus status)
{
    int result = 0;
     Configuration config = 
         ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration
           (System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath);
    if (status == TCallStatus.clsInProgress)
    {
        mciSendString("open new Type waveaudio Alias recsound", "", 0, 0);
        mciSendString("record recsound", "", 0, 0);

    }
    else if (status == TCallStatus.clsFinished)
    {
        DateTime currdate = DateTime.Now;
        string datetime = string.Format("{0:yyyyMMddhhmmss}.wav", DateTime.Now);

        string wavfilename = "";
        if (config.AppSettings.Settings["VoiceRecordsPath"].Value != null)
        {
            //wavfilename = config.AppSettings.Settings["VoiceRecordsPath"]
            //.Value.Replace(",","") + "_" + CSRBusiness.User.Country + "_" 
            //+ datetime + @".wav";
            wavfilename = CSRBusiness.User.Country + "_" + datetime;
        }
        Directory.SetCurrentDirectory( config.AppSettings.Settings
            ["VoiceRecordsPath"].Value.Replace(",", ""));

        //result = mciSendString("save recsound " + wavfilename, "", 0, 0);
        result = mciSendString("save recsound d://test.wav", "", 0, 0);
        mciSendString("close recsound ", "", 0, 0);
        MessageBox.Show(result.ToString());
    }
   // MessageBox.Show(result.ToString());
}

Actually, voice is recorded and saved from this area:

else if (status == TCallStatus.clsFinished)
{

}

So I need help in figuring out what to do to record & save both ends of the call. Where can I do this in my code?

mciSendString doesn't know anything about Skype. All it is doing is recording what your computer's microphone picks up (which does not include the other user in Skype).

I would expect that you would have to get the audio stream from Skype itself for the other person in order to record it.
