Otherwise, you can type
soundcard use files

and then linphonec will use files instead of a soundcard.
Then you can specify play and record files with simple commands:
play /tmp/play.wav
record /tmp/record.wav

You can do those commands before or during the call.

wav files MUST be 16bit pcm at 8000 Hz or 16000hz if speex wideband codec is 
used.
