 If its 16-bit doesn't that mean 2 channels consisting of 8-bits each
 The kernel code may not be full-duplex but I thought the card was

again.  that's not what i thought... but i'm willing to be wrong ;)

 Thanks, I do now get audio through speak-freely.  However, it seems to
 break up or repeat the beginning several times from the corona echo
 server.  How do I fix that problem? 

for me that had to do with crappy, overloaded lines and retransmission.
you can set how many times it will retransmit on the command line with one
of the types of compression (sorry i can't remember off the top of my
head but it's pretty obvious if you check the man page).

I am able to get speak-freely version 6.1b-2 to work fine on a mixed
bo/hamm system.  I can't explain your problem but the debian package works
fine for me with a standard soundblaster 16 (ie. definately not a
full-duplex card).

 AFAIK the standard version of speak-freely is compiled with the DUPLEX
 option, so it works only with the fully duplex capable hardware-driver.
 AFAIK most of the drivers available in OSS-Free included into Linux system 
 do not support the full duplex.
 Get the source version of speek-freely package, set the
 DUPLEX= -HALF_DUPLEX 
 in the Makefile, and rebuild the package.

The soundblaster 16 _is_ a full-duplex card. Mabe you mean that the driver
for it is not full-duplex capable?

err, what?  since when?  this is a two plus year old, standard sb16 card,
i'm pretty sure it's not full-duplex.

i've played with iphone under windows and it required full duplex sound
cards and i was under the impression that they were something new(ish).

am i grossly mistaken here?

Yes I think so. Full duplex drivers have only been made available
fairly recently, but the card itself is full duplex. It has two DMA
channels for this reason (one for recording, one for playback).

Even Sounblaster AWE64 Gold _is not_ 16bit full duplex, I think they get 
full duplex with 8bit, also I think that not at 44khz(20khz)
