Thank you, that was it! I must have disabled these codecs for some reason that I now can't remember :-). I'm a bit embarrassed, because I now remember that this has come up before on this list. So maybe a note in the preferences window right next to the codec selection would help dummies like the rest of us to not do such a simple configuration mistake? I imagine something like "Note: PCMU and PCMA are recommended for usage with the echo test". The .asoundrc has fortunately not been an issue. I used some asoundrc code to select the default device by an environment variable, which gives me all the flexibility I need without having to bother the pwlib people about writing better alsa code ;-).
