Hi again Peter, When I was using my MiniDV camera I was using it via firewire with a pwlib plugin. This plugin however does not support audio at present so I had to route the audio in via analogue.
Ekiga also supports capture via V4L and V4L2, so if you have a capture cards you can take composite video. As I mentioned I think that audio is the major hurdle... good conference phones are expensive. After writing my previous email my interest peaked a little and I discovered that there are a few speaker/mic devices aimed at conferencing - basically a combined USB speaker/mic with echo cancellation. Basic ones start around $30, but I would suggest spending a little more on a decent one such as the Polycom C100S which can be got for around $140. Best deal so far is: http://www2.insight.ca/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=PLY220040&nbs_search=C%3D101%26S%3D1009%26lang%3Den-ca%26K%3D%26M%3DPLY%26P%3D2 Note: I have no idea whether these will work with Linux (fully or limited functionality). Hope this helps futher.... Simon.
