	Maybe.

	The main question probably is whether ekiga ALSA plugin
supports reading and using the .asoundrc configuration at all. Because
so far it seems ekiga tries to access the ALSA device directly
no matter what is written in .asoundrc. Using "ls -ltu" I have found
that ekiga does not reread .asoundrc even when "Detect devices"
button in the Audio Devices dialog is pressed.
