I would suggest that you read on Ekiga's site about how to get 2 applications running under alsa at the same time. It doesn't always work because alsa keeps changing things. One of the biggest problems with alsa is that it forces the jitter buffer to go wild.

I have my sound in Ekiga to use "Default" for the sound events. My audio output device is set to use my sound card and the input device to use the "Default". It works very well here that way. ("Default" meaning the alsa default device).

It's not a codec problem, it's alsa. If you have a full duplex sound card you can try and use that directly or try OSS. But the settings that I described that I'm using works well for me and most every other computer that I've installed Ekiga on.

On a side note; I had to remove the "custom" alsa.config and let alsa set it back up using Fedora's Sound Card Detection program after the last update of alsa.
