Skype seems to be the best VoIP right now in terms of capability and scalability. In addtion, it officially supports many Linux distros like SuSE, Fedora Core, Mandriva, Debian and its families, and other Linux-based system by static binary format. For debian package, especially Ubuntu, it works nicely. I got menu immediately the installation finished. In this latest beta version Skype for Linux 1.3 BETA, it supports both OSS and ALSA. Luckily, it also lets me choose ALSA device by myself so I can use my USB sound card easily.

I don't know other updates but only ALSA support is worth enough to upgrade as soon as possible.
