[GnomeMeeting-list] First impressions of ekiga

[Chris Rankin <rankincj yahoo com>]

I have now installed ekiga, with siproxd on my NAT router as an outgoing proxy.

First impressions are OK, although ekiga does seem unwilling to abort making a new connection when
told to. I had forgotten to disable NAT when I switched to using siproxd, which meant that ekiga
was trying in vain to create a new connection. However, it proved very difficult to tell ekiga to
hang up - basically, it ignored the "hang-up" button.

The video picture also seems to be stuck on the "small" resolution, which is unfortunate for
Firewire camera owners since "small" Firewire pictures still have a purle tinge to them. (As they
did under GnomeMeeting.)

The echo test is working OK, except that the picture seems to break much more easily than it did
under GnomeMeeting. Worse, I get green squares flickering at random whenever I channel the stream
through siproxd, so I'm guessing that siproxd is corrupting a few of the video packets. Audio
seems OK, although maybe that's more due the statistics of the packet corruption than anything
else.

I'll post more later :-),
Cheers,
Chris
