I have good news for you. I had the same problem and I found[1] that the
libpt-plugins-alsa from sarge was too old for the ekiga available on bpo.
Installing libpt-plugins-alsa from bpo solved the problem. The same thing
applies to libpt-plugins-v4l2.

IOW: the dependencies of the ekiga backport are two loose.
     (I cannot tell the minimum versions required for the plugin
     packages; I can only say that for alsa and v4l2, the versions in
     sarge don't work while those on bpo do.)
