Most OSS drivers (stock kernel) are half-duplex.  For $20 you can get
commercial full-duplex drivers from OSS.  I spent the $20 and they work
very well.

ALSA (the next generation of Linux audio-related drivers) are mostly of
the full duplex variety.

So it probably depends if you have OSS or ALSA drivers installed.  What
does lsmod look like?

Anyone know if RH provides ALSA packages yet?
