For people interested in audio/video telephony, I'd also suggest
baresip, which you can find at

	http://www.creytiv.com/pub/

version 0.2.0 works almost with no effort on FreeBSD, does not need
a ton of libraries, and supports a variety of input and output
methods (for video input, it can talk to webcamd, or an internal
x11 grabber, or any file that ffmpeg can read).

a skeleton for a port of version 0.2.0 is attached

	cheers
