Correct.

Just look at it this way: You have a soundcard, that does not provide
16 bit linear PCM but 8-bit PCMA, etc.

For this problem there are two solutions, both require to disable the
linphone codec filters.
1. write a new soundcard driver (something like hpuxsndcard.c)
2. write a new read/write filter (replace MSOssRead/Write).

I used the first approach.

That is approach #2 :-)
