Thanks for the hint. Just for the record (and future bug readers) I
have reproduced the bug on a local network (so it is not related to
lack of bandwidth) and, as I said earlier, gnomemeeting is working
flawlessely for the sound on the same hardware, same settings (so I
doubt it would be an alsa problem).

And to be precise (with respect to the bug report you mentioned), the
sound is not merely 'scratchy'. It is absolutely not understandable
(what makes me thinking of something like endianess issue, but I might
be wrong).

Is anybody having success with ekiga on powerpc?

I will try to come back to it later, but first I will need to borrow a
second webcam for the local tests as I did at the time of the writing
of the initial bug report.
