Guess I'll upgrade again, then.  I only saw that 0.7.0 was out in the
Debian feeds (although I built Asterisk from CVS).

I can only use ALSA (since I bought a Plantronics DSP 400 USB headset)
and now it seems that the default sound system for the familiar
distribution is ALSA as well.  I've tried all sorts of other software
phones and none work properly with the USB headset except (almost)
linphone.  linphone seems to work the best as far as audio is concerned.
~ All the rest give completely garbled sound that pulsates for the
duration of the sound prompts, etc. and is completely illegible (I know
that's the word for not being able to understand writing; don't know
what the word is for not being able to understand sound or garbled
sound, but this is more than just garbled.  Nothing is able to be made
out).  However, sound being transmitted from the microphone of the USB
headset reaches the other end flawlessly and sounds excellent.

On another note, would it be possible to add IAX/IAX2 support to
linphone?  I know linphone is a SIP phone, but it would be nice to be
able to choose IAX as well as SIP since IAX would be more efficient in
the ability to traverse NAT'd networks and is supposed to take less
overhead, etc.  I am aware that your choices of services and
connectivity would currently be limited to only gateways and devices
that support IAX, but having a software phone that could do both would
be really neat (and linphone is the only one that supports ALSA right
now that I know of, except kphone, but it doesn't have DTMF digit
support or a keypad, yet, that I know of).
