Ah I've missed that one... Well, as I said above, after the repackaging every 
single file in upstream kiax's lib is LGPL. The lib/iLBC and libaec_nlms 
directories have been removed by the same repackaging since not being DFSG 
compliant.

The ideal solution is to use our libs, but I'm really not inclined to polute 
them with experimental stuff. I'd rather to for kiax without EC, or without 
kiax at all. I hope this situation will improve in the future, e.g. those 
libraries like portaudio, speex, iaxclient will get that support upstream if 
found to of any interest for them.
