Thank you for both of your replies, Jean Marc and Stefan. Sorry that my 
knowledge about the linux sound systems is quite limited, I just have some 
knowledge in signal processing so I thought it would be helpful to point out 
the problem. And I perfectly understand Jean-Marcs answer that it does not 
directly relate to the codecs themselves, it is located before and after the 
codec.
Stefan do I understand right that when I use dmix I cannot use the sample 
conversion option you specify? Do I need to put exactly the option you state or 
replace the argument "samplerate" by the corresponding rate number? 
I have edited the alsa.conf file and seen that there are options relative to 
dmix (defaults.pcm.dmix_rate 48000, so I guess I do use it?) fixing the sample 
rate at 48kHz. I inserted your conversion option and noticed that this had no 
effect after restarting alsa. Neither did changing the dmix rate to 
defaults.pcm.dmix_rate 8000. And I guess in this case anyway, ALL of my sound 
would be at 8kHz? So this does not look like an ideal workaround. And as long 
as ALSA does linear interpolation (it actually sounds more like next neighbour 
sampling) could this be a feature request for upcoming ekiga releases?

Once again thanks for your answers and neurons

Frank
