I don't know what Hugo want to do but I did find a way to send an audio file 
with Ekiga. Perhaps this could help Him a little bit:

1) Launch snd_aloop module
# modprobe snd_aloop

2) Look for what soundcard has been created
$ aplay -l
(in my example it is card 4)

3 or 4) set audacious for using hw:4,1 as output device, "canal de mélange 
audio" hw:4 and start reading the audio file (mono, 8000 samples/s)

4 or 3) set ekiga for using "Loopback" as input device and establish the 
communication.
