OPAL is an Ekiga dependency.

Among other libraries, Ekiga use mainly PTLIB and OPAL.
PTLIB basically offer the hardware management part, while OPAL basically
offers protocols (like H323, SIP) and codecs (like speex, H261,...).
The website for PTLIB and OPAL is here: http://www.opalvoip.org/

Ekiga is build on them. You already have OPAL installed. The version I
propose is the same as the one you have already + a small patch for
better NAT traversal support of the audio and video streams.

You just have to install as I told in the first message, it should just
replace the existing OPAL. Then use Ekiga as usual. (There is no need to
change the Ekiga package, the patch is small and it is binary
compatible)

Best regards,
Yannick
