I was recently in that same situation, looking for a headset to use with
Ekiga and as you point out, I found very little (and not accurate) data
about working devices at the Ekiga web page :-(.
So I asked in another mailing list where people recommended to go for an
USB headset, that generally tends to work fine. I finally bought a
"Plantronics .Audio™ 626" which works like a charm with Ekiga and
provides very good sound quality.
