I understand the detection of the speex was broken in opal. But it
wasn't the compilation of opal that was causing the problems it was
the actual compilation of ekiga. As ekiga uses opal my understanding
is that it shouldn't need speex directly and hence any linking to the
speex libraries should be done by opal and not ekiga, and in turn
ekiga then links to opal.
