Hi Samuel,

I would relaly love to make Ekiga work with Renavisio.  I plan to test 
it myself, but I am pretty busy at the moment.

I see at https://lpsc.in2p3.fr/trac/faq/wiki/Renavisio that the H263 
codecs are needed.  You need libav (perhaps ffmpeg works too) for that. 
  There is a patch (or two) you need to use, see 
https://sources.debian.net/src/opal/3.10.10~dfsg2-1/debian/patches/

Kind regards,
Eugen
