Yes, and it works; but see below.

I got it to work.

Ok, so realtime audio does not work due to some pulseaudio problems,
but I was able to record a (silent) call and then replay it with 

pacat --rate 4000 ../../../pulseaudio2.raw

on my PC. I have yet to do some testing on the microphone side.

I'm using Debian 7 as a a base, and I suggest nfsroot.

It seems that libcmtspeechdata + pulseaudio-module-cmtspeech-n9xx is
enough to get calls to work. Now. I could not get configure on these
packages to work, so I hard-coded build scripts (mkit). You'll need to
symlink resulting .so to pulseaudio directory (see
/my/pulseaudio-module-cmtspeech-n9xx/src/cmtspeech/mkit). I leave binaries in,
since this is non-trivial to compile. Some memory allocation stuff was
missing. I faked it; it seems it is not needed in the first call.

untar in the root directory of n900. Reset n900, no need to log in
into console, connect using ssh -X root@n900.

Then go to /my/tui/ofone. Run "./run" -- that should start
pulseaudio. Run "./ofone", hit "lowlevel: online", hit "contacts",
enter phone number you want to call, hit the number, it should start
dialing.

Wait a while, hit "lowlevel: hangup".

Now you should have:

/my/pulseaudio2.raw

you can play with pacat above, and /my/pulseaudio.log.*, which
contains stuff that needs to be fixed.

I've put the archive at

Have fun!
