This isn't a codec issue. I have already tried disabling all but one,
testing that, doing the same for a different one, etc. It makes no
difference. Even the codecs classified as 16bit instead of 8bit (ie
speex) didn't change the quality.

I assume this isn't a problem you see yourself (the staticy voice)? I'm
wondering if it "sort of" is a hardware issue. Maybe the default
ALSA/pulseaudio settings for Intel 82801G soundcards (which my laptop
and workstation both have) is crappy, but "pushing" something into the
driver (like skype and "asound -f cd" do) enhances it? Maybe other
soundcards defaults are better, and so this issue isn't seen? I can't
fiddle with the hardware here, so I can't test that myself

Thanks!
