Guillaume,

I have changed the severity of your report as linphone functions correctly and 
vp8 just provides additional functionally.  I do agree your report is a good 
idea and will be uploading a package to experimental shortly.

Given the late stage in the release cycle, I doubt such a change would be 
accepted as it doesn't a key issue from the freeze policy:
