Tried it: same result.  Now I'm also wondering: why does it choose PCMA?
After all, I haven't changed the list of codecs and PCMA comes last.
And indeed if I remove PCMA from the list, the connection says "/H231" only
for in&out, indicating that it couldn't agree on any codec.
Is that normal?  The preferences list of codecs seems complete.

I now tested it with headphones so as to remove the echo and it really works
just fine,
