*sigh*, you seem having all the problems of the world :-/

A few steps to debug :
1) Make the audio test through the druid, and see if it works.

2) Try calling 500 at ekiga.net with each of them and see if it works or
not. Please note that there is a problem with ekiga.net right now, it is
loosing packets. Anyway, you will see where the helicopter sounds comes
from.

3) Try this :

arecord -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D plughw:0,0 -c
1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE -

4) Try also this :

arecord -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 16000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D plughw:0,0 -c
1 -r 16000 -f S16_LE -

5) Try using Default as device or direct access to the device.

6) Change codecs

7) If you can not see each other, either video transmission is disabled
or you have a firewall dropping video packets
