It would be nice to have this bug fixed.

The actual write/read are done in opal library.  I do not think (but i
am not sure) that you can do it by modifying only ekiga.  For your
questions you need to contact opalvoip-user
<opalvoip-user lists sourceforge net>.

I suppose the simplest thing is to add a video and audio output device
called for ex. WAVfile (I think it already exist, but does not work),
and if the user chooses it he can specify the file name.  The problem is
that you cannot choose two devices (to see *and* to save).  So maybe the
best is to add a checkbox to specify if you record the conversation.
It's up to you to make a proposition as to how it works, and if it is
good, go ahead and implement it.  In this case, it's better to use the
trunk, not the 3.2.x branch.
