Any thought on how/why? in the present case, it is exactly the same hardware/software and internet connection. remember that skype is a p2p app while ekiga acts as client for a server. Hah, didn't know Skype was p2p, I always thought it was also going through a server since there is a login. Thanks for your thoughts, as they are insightful. Dee Skype can at its own discretion decide to use your connection to route traffic of somebody else. Ekiga, I think, has adjustable jitter buffer, which sometimes really improves quality at the expense of latency. Skype uses pretty wide band codec; Ekiga gives you a choice, so bandwidth can be better utilized. Regards, Sergei.

[Ekiga-list] eeepc
Hi, I'm a fan of the ekiga softphone using Ubuntu. Now I have an EEEPC (tiny laptop) using a Xandros o/s. I downloaded ekiga from the respository and installed ok. However, the audio reception is very choppy and makes the programme unusable. In the config mode the audio is choppy. I have tried different codex's but no change. I closed all other progs. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Skype works fine. Using ekiga the transmission was ok and not choppy, just the reception Thanks __ Sent from Yahoo! Mail.

Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga vs Skype
Hello, I follow the discussion with great interst. I use Skype and VoIPBuster a lot, because the children and family of my wife live in the States, Australia and China. However, until now I am not able to get Ekiga working. The webcam is not working, and I found out that I have to pay for the calls using Ekiga. (home phoners/fixed). Question: I am a real newbee, any reamrks concerning the items I wrote above. Please comment. HAns Minekus - There are a lot of VoIP programs out there these days. I decided to follow Ekiga because I support the open software concept. Ekiga has thus far been offered to the world as a very generous gift. Of the programs I have tested, Ekiga is proving to offer the best sound quality, but many people are having problems getting it to work reliably. I have been trying Ekiga 2.0.11 that comes with recent distro of Gnome under Linux Slackware 12.0 and kernel 2.6.21. I have not yet complete success yet with this OS or FreeBSD 7.0. I also failed to get it to work under Windows, but this might only be because of some mis-understandings. I think you need to install GTK+ to get it to work in Windows, but following the chage-logs, I got idea Ekiga should not depend on GTK because there were some comments about removing the error message about requiring GTK. What OS are you using? Others, There is no error, I actually have gotten very good sound quality with a 56K modem. Ekiga is crashing for now and I am trying to solve this. However, I can say with great certainty the sound quality has been very good when Ekiga does not crash. Interesting point that Skype was originally described as working well with no more than a modem connection. I have never once experienced that. It seems Ekiga has some efficiency that ends up benefiting the end user in terms of efficiency and sound quality, which is why I want to see this go.

My advice might be biased, but Ekiga has always had a good reputation of stability and reliability. -- _ Damien Sandras I think this is because you have been re-directing bug reports to other software like alsa-lib, which I reported. However, alsa-lib is pretty much standard on all Linux distros. So if Ekiga is crashing because of a conflict with alsa-lib, regardless of where the fault lies, Ekiga won't work reliably under Linux without some kind of changes. I have yet to see Ekiga work with Linux (default Slackware 12.0 install + Gnome) or FreeBSD 7.0, although a friend finally did get it to work under Windows. I know of one report of someone getting Ekiga to work under Ubuntu, and I am thinking to give that a try, although I do not yet understand why the distribution would make a difference, assuming they are all using ALSA. There are plenty of people around here who have tried and failed, so it is clear there are problems. I guess I could ask around for specifics from others. I already reported the alsa-lib problem. I certainly do not want to detract in any way from your hard work. Ekiga looks like great software.
