Yes, if course. The default of chan_capi is alaw, but you can switch to ulaw
by changing that in capi.conf.

I don't think this is related to my problem above, since it is alaw all 
along. But if there is a problem with the OpenPBX codec stuff ....

I have current OpenPBX SVN in a production system running, without any 
problems (besides the non-alaw thing above). It works pretty good (if 
otherwise, I would be killed in that company ;-)
The setup is 10 SIP phones (will grow) and 2 DIVA 4BRI cards. The second
4BRI card is running in NT-mode to bridge all 4 BRI lines to an old 
Alcatel-PBX, which is still in use. Everything as embedded linux image 
booting from CDROM with just a small IDE-HDD to have logs, sqlite-db and 
spool-dir for e.g. faxes.

So I don't know why you have those problems. Can you provide a debug log? 
Maybe we can find out whats happening.

Armin
