   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)
