Maybe this will help a little

When I do the audio test I see that gnomemeeting opens to the max. the 
mic.gain .
Maybe ( I'm just guessing) with that driver/hardware configuration that 
fact leads to
an audio loop that produces the problem .
If you have - on the mixer - mic gain and record input gain, cut the mic 
gain after
opening the audio test to see how it goes .
You should NOT hear the recorded sound echoes ( after the 5 sec delay) 
with increasing
volume but with decreasing volume and with a lot less db's than the 
original .
Let's have an example :

- I open the audio test
- Mic gain goes to maximum, I hear the room noise, I cut the gain and 
hear nothing.
- On the Rec/Playback part of the Test I say 1, 2, 3 and after 5 sec I 
hear 1, 2, 3
loud and clear and then a first echo much lower and then a second echo 
almost
non existent and then nothing else .

This was performed with no speakers output and a headset ( using OSS 
drivers ).

I think this should be the correct behavior - try to get this with your 
mixer settings,
otherwise I think there's something really wrong with your sound driver 
/ hardware.

Good testing !
