Great to hear you see the same behaviour. Well, at least in some sense.

Hmmm, I vaguely remember seeing this with different codecs, not only GSM 
but also speex. But I'm not 100% sure right now.

Yes, as I use it on an embedded platform, so I have no use for a GUI.
BTW, if anybody needs a video variant without the need of some X display 
(SDL dummy output did not work, but one can use X over network), I 
hacked together some code. Will commit it as soon as it is cleaned up.

Regarding sound files instead of a real soundcard, you need the cli 
variant.

linphonec> help soundcard
'soundcard list' : list all sound devices.
'soundcard use <index>' : select a sound device.
'soundcard use files' : use .wav files instead of soundcard
linphonec> help play
This feature is available only in file mode (see 'help soundcard')
'play <wav file>'    : play a wav file.
linphonec> help record
This feature is available only in file mode (see 'help soundcard')
'record <wav file>'    : record into wav file.
linphonec>

Hmmm, I think narrowing down the scenario where the problem occurs would 
be helpful to everybody who is concerned.
