Yes, it seems :-)

not working either. I think that twinkle uses different libraries to
handle with ALSA. From apt-cache show twinkle:
--------
Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.3-1), libasound2 (>> 1.0.11),
libboost-regex1.33.1, libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libccrtp1-1.4-0,

libx11-6, libxext6, libxml2 (>= 2.6.26), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1)

I think that Wengophone uses ALSA too (not 100% sure):
--------

libvorbis0a (>= 1.1.2), libvorbisenc2 (>= 1.1.2), libx11-6, zlib1g (>=
1:1.2.1)
-----------

Even linphone is using ALSA without problems (100% sure!):

Maybe it helps...
