Matthias,
I will continue tomorrow with the tests about that video issue in calls
to <500 ekiga net> and let you know;

Craig,
For me (in my work) it would be nice to get this H.264 working in H.323
because our central VideoConf system does not understand H.261 (bug in
firmware); that's why I have enabled that define H323_H264_TEST in
opal/plugins/video/H.264/h264-x264.h, recompiled all stuff including
ekiga itself, but now it complains about the child proc terminating for
h264-x264 and dumps core:

if you have an idea where to look, your helping hand is welcome;

Damien,
I'm attaching some smaller changes for OPAL dealing with places where to
pick up objects in FreeBSD;
