Why ?  It's not clear for me.
Do you realy want to only support H.261 video codec ?
I want to use H.263 because this is the only video codec that can conect 
to our Polycom viewstation endpoint.
The H.261 codec in GM is not compatible with my Polycom endpoint, and MCU.

As i wrote before, I did it already!
I think you misunderstand me.

I used H.263 before the debian upgrade. So I have already the file in 
/usr/lib/pwlib
It worked before, i upgraded my debian package.
If nobody has the same problem with H.263 then probably i have some 
local problem.
