Check wiki.ekiga.org, there are a few tips for various .asoundrc which
could improve the jitter. 1000 is too much, 100 is much too.

It is due to the fact that you are using "Default" with DMIX enabled.
Could you please test the .asoundrc files on wiki.ekiga.org and see if
it works better?

If it is the case, please report a bug to ALSA, I'd like to see this
fixed but they don't listen to me :(

It should still be there. But it is not enabled on ekiga.net.
SPEEX Wideband is now the default.
