If you are using Snapshots of Ekiga and not the stable 2.0.7, then it is
normal :
- Video codecs are broken in Ekiga snapshots due to the recent plugins

In other words, quality and framerate will both be bad.

That is because of the above explanation: don't use snapshots and expect
reliable quality. Please use a stable release and report back.
