Hello Ken,

Your opal build lacks several codecs. I know some of them are not
suitable for world wild shipping because of patents (iLBC, H263, H263+,
H264, MPEG4), still they are *very* useful for interoperability and for
quality.

I propose the following:
build all codecs, and spilt them from the main opal package as they are plugins 
and move them to multiverse. Ekiga will find them at run time if installed. I 
also propose you to build a meta package named "ekiga-full-non-free" including 
all those codecs to help users find them easily.

The audio codec iLBC is in OPAL, no more dependancy.
The video codecs H263, H263+, MPEG4 are probably in libavcodec-unstripped-52
The video codec H264 is in libx264-65

There is also the CELT audio codec which is in libcelt0. I'm not sure,
but I believe this one is free.

Best regards and thank you for the effort.
Yannick
