I had it working with SB live 5.1 platinum, I had to play with mixer
forever to get acceptable level of capture, I still don't know what
fixed it. However regarless of volume level it was pretty smooth, about
the same as phone
However this was done using a friend's skype on the other end, don't
remember whether I got echo working...
my experiments were done using:
skype-1.2.0.18
alsa that comes with kernel 2.6.11
DSL line (on both ends)
