Hi Hugo,

Sorry to answer so late, I thought I can find some useful information in 
the meantime.  But not.  I do not know how to make loopback available in 
ekiga.

Changing manually the name in config file does not help in my opinion.

Try sending an e-mail to opalvoip-user lists sourceforge net, which are 
responsible for ptlib plugins (alsa, oss etc.)
