Nope, you get 8bit/sample in one direction and 16bits/sample in the other.
It's good enough for internet phone apps.

Voice is okay with linear 8 bits. But it would be nice if the SB16 could
at least do 16bit linear and give 8bit ulaw, that sounds quite a bit
better. Oh well..
What cards does Linux support full duplex on?
