That audio hardware is controlled by kernel drivers, user space
applications would  not have access to the hardware directly (possibly if
there were no other drivers for that interface loaded and you were running
the software as root, which seems very, very unlikely).  If you are
running the telephony application as root that seems like a very bad idea
from a security standpoint.
Which telephony application?  You were very vague, perhaps if you gave
more specific details someone on the list is familiar with the software
and can give relevant advice.
