Package: ekiga
Version: 3.2.7-2
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze
I am using Ekiga 3.2.7 from squeeze. I place a SIP video call to
another user using Ekiga 3.2.7 on same Debian version
Squeeze and same webcam.
For the video codecs, Theora is used at both ends.
Upon the connection being successfully established, I can see
remote video . However, for the other user, the remote video
they see (of me) either freezes randomly during a call, or,
freezes almost immediately upon answer (the latter seems to
occur more often).
The call however remains connected (e.g audio is fine) just that
the video as my other user is seeing of me from their end
freezes. The behaviour is consistent.
Using H261 on the other hand works fine in both directions.
Both clients are on ADSL connections, behind home NAT routers. Network
connectivity otherwise is fine.
If other side is Debian Lenny, video works also ok.
I found similar reports on web here[1] and here[2]
