Bug#531458: ekiga: Missing OPAL non-free codecs (iLBC, h264, mp4v)

[Mateusz Kaduk]

Package: ekiga
Version: 3.2.1~git20090515.9d0263-1
Severity: wishlist

Please add h264, iLBC and MP4V to Debian non-free section.

Without those codecs this sotware is merly usable.

H264 gives same video quality while uses half as bandwitch as theora.
H264 is needed to acheive similar video quality as commercial Skype
on the same bandwitch.

Thanks in advance
