Anybody please re-post Manty's text to comment on ;-)

I'm afraid that if we go for our well proven shared libs, we will not easily 
integrate tipic's Echo Cancellation patch. I'm still not sure how this horror 
works within kiax/lib/, but it basically has a special version of portaudio 
(v18) which gets preprecessored by iaxc_preprocessor.c. The files under 
lib/aec_nlms are also used if found to be available but I deleted them along 
with lib/iLBC/ because of no license information (for the former) and 
non-DFSG compliance (for the last). The rest in kiax's lib/ is LGPL'ed. I 
guess this is the maximum DFSG-compliant code we can have. Also special 
versions of libspeex and libiax2 is used.

I do not like to approach to mess with our library packages, so let the mess 
be in kiax only.

Also a good reference is IAXClient by Tipic:
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=149955&package_id=167567)

Unfortunately no license or contact information could be found within the 
tarball. Documentation is also missing.

I'm fine with both, but went after Echo Cancellation because of Manty's wish 
to have it there.
