For the moment; only thing that works for me without too much problems
is twinkle.

Not really, it's just compiling a firing up oss2jack, but it's not a
clean solution and it has its limitations.

After I compile it and load the kfusd module, I: 

#mv /dev/dsp /dev/dsp-org
#ln -s /dev/dsp5 /dev/dsp
$oss2jack -V -n 5

> twinkle doesnt work with plug:jack 

I have found plug:jack to not work with anything. My setup is 96kHz
and that's the reason for a lot of it.

Auto connection is evil, pure evil, as in the fruits of the devil;).

A jacked daemon, then have your choice of client to use;).

Yeah, I did use that before with oss2jack. I'm happily a non asterisk
user now, cause that piece of software has got some serious vitamin b
deficiencies;). I use freeswitch at the time.

My mother uses ekiga without problems, but that's ALSA.

Well, sure, the server should have 5060 and all clients can have
whatever.

It's a little jungle;), but much works without JACK.
