I have recently fixed things with silence detection, I guess you could
try again.

I will need more details about the caller and the SIP Proxy being used
and a debug 4 output.

That's unrelated to GnomeMeeting. That's actually most probably a
problem of your provider. If I was you, I would check the packets loss,
and the jitter in the statistics pane of GnomeMeeting. Notice that the
problem right above could be related.

That's normal, it just means that the soundcard is opened in PCM mode
and the SIP Connection is opened with G.711 :)

thanks :)

Getting something perfectly stable and without bugs will take time, but
we are not far.
