Thank you Dominik. I experience these problems as well. Up to now I was 
not shure that they were not due to the STUN problems which I have with 
my Fritz!Box. But now I think that we really have to fix this.
I need some help from the real Ekiga experts here. So I uploaded a d4 
log to http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~mrickma/ekiga/xaudiogreyed.tar.gz . It 
illustrates one of the cases you describe, here a short summary:

One successful call to 500 ekiga net, on the second call button for 
audio seetings window is greyed, I can hear the intro but not the echo 
of my voice.

12952:  ekiga	GMAudioInputManager_ptlib	Closing device Plantronics Headset
13052:  Media Patch:372	AudioInputCore	Falling back to SILENT (Ekiga/Ekiga)

inbetween I fiddled around with the local video button
around here the new call is made

14672:  Pool:2612	GMAudioInputManager_null	Opening Device SILENT 
(Ekiga/Ekiga)

Between 13052 and 14672 no attempt is made to set audio input to the 
Plantronics Headset.
