Hmm, that sounds bad.
I need to call different addresses (not within my domain) using
different SIP providers. If there is no default setting I need an option
to change it by call at least. Actually otherwise Ekiga 3 is really not
usable anymore for me :-(

No, I'm not running Gnome and stay far away from pulseaudio still. It
breaks different applications I rely on. It's not even installed anymore
on my system currently. So it's plain ALSA but I have no idea how to
figure out what's wrong.
The ekiga echo test doesn't show the issue and also Skype doesn't. It
started with openSUSE 11.1 and Ekiga 3.0.1 though.
