I had some time to test - I can confirm the X-Lite problem.
I do hear the X-Lite sender in good quality (with Ekiga), but the X-Lite
user gets just a noisy ("bubbling" would describe it pretty well) sound.
No problems with other endpoints, hw and sw.

Seems as if X-Lite has problems to decode the Ekiga stream. That's bad,
I think X-Lite is one of the most popular free SIP clients (at least for
Windows).
