I'm a bit unclear why nobody's responding (is it rather a case of "RTFM, we don't answer these qestions" or "dunno"?). Ekiga is said to use plughw; I've seen this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg21126.html "Mostly [it] is true [that you want the conversions that plughw is doing for you], except for sample rate conversion. The sample rate conversion routines are primative and add distortion and noise to the signal, and you, in general, do not want to do that. Almost all of the other conversions do not destroy the signal while converting, so are best left to the plughw to handle, agreed." Hm, is this still true and what I'm hearing actually some 48kHz-sampled signal or so downsamplet to 8000Hz in software by plughw? So is it bad quality because nobody ever implemented a good quality rate conversion in ALSA? (For reference, I'm running Debian Lenny, with it's alsa-base 1.0.17.dfsg-4).
