I recently was in the need of a headset for Ekiga and went to that
page to retrieve more data about supported devices but there is very
little information, indeed :-(
So I asked in another mailing list to get feedback about the status of
these devices in Debian. People recommended wired USB headsets and I
finally purchased ones from Plantronics (Plantronics .Audio™ 626) that
work like a charm with Ekiga (automatically detected and very good sound
quality).
