Can you move the microphone from Pulse Audio to ALSA and use linphone's ALSA support? (USB microphones are often supported as ALSA devices by snd-usb-audio in my experience. I use one.) http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#CanIgetOSSandALSAapplicationstoworkwithPulseAudio suggests that you might be able to do it another way, but you'd need to install and configure a PulseAudio backend for ALSA. padsp should work, but you'd need to configure linphone to use OSS devices instead of the usual ALSA ones. In general, what is the point of Pulse Audio and does it have good enough performance for linphone? http://pulseaudio.org/ says "it allows you to do advanced operations on your sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware" but I thought ALSA plugins can do that. The only benefit I'm not sure whether ALSA already has seems to be "transferring the audio to a different machine".
