Comment 8 for bug 369092

Hi,
I did experience the same audio delay beheaviour using combi jaunty/ekiga 3.2.0
However I have a solution/workaround for that by using Open Sound System rather than ALSA
Make sure that OSS is installed on jaunty:

sudo apt-get install libpt-plugins-oss
sudo dpkg --list |grep oss
ii libao2 0.8.8-4ubuntu1 Cross Platform Audio Output Library
ii libflac++6 1.2.1-1.2 Free Lossless Audio Codec - C++ runtime libr
ii libflac8 1.2.1-1.2 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtime C librar
ii libpt-1.10.10-plugins-oss 1.10.10-2ubuntu3 Portable Windows Library Audio Plugins for t
ii libpt2.6.1-plugins-oss 2.6.1-0ubuntu4 PTLib audio plugin for the OSS Interface
ii libqca2-plugin-ossl 0.1~20070904-3 QCA OSSL plugin for libqca2
ii libwavpack1 4.50.1-1 an audio codec (lossy and lossless) - librar

Make sure that jaunty uses OSS as default audio system.I use KDE 3.5.10 to configure that in:
system settings/sound system/hardware/"select audio device"

Make sure (after restarting EKIGA) to select OSS output rather than ALSA
I select output device: /dev/dsp1 (PTLIB/OSS) and input device : /dev/dsp1 (PTLIB/OSS)
It works convenient and I don't experience this long sound output delay anymore for incoming speech to my Plantronics USB headset

Something must be wrong with EKIGA vs ALSA support. Long live OSS!
