To add the 3.4 (or possible 3.2.x release would be the pulse audio
plugin. I've tried it as a patch to ptlib but it seems to lock up for
me but I haven't had the time to compile up ptlib/opal/ekiga trunk and
test with it. It would also be nice to have upnp (possibly with gupnp
now that there's confirmation it works on Windows.

I've pushed a couple of fixes from the opal/ekiga branch into the
release that will be in Fedora 11. There are a number of other bugs
that I have in the RH bugzilla that I need to go through and test and
report upstream as necessary but are yet to have the time.

I'm also seeing ekiga not re-register if I lose the network connection
and reconnect. It seems that its not seeing NM drop the connection. I
can't remember though if ekiga has support for NM or not though (if it
doesn't that would be another nice feature for 3.4 as its painful
having to quit and re-run it to get it to register).
