  Description     : SIP stack from the Linphone team

Belle-Sip is a new SIP stack (RFC3261) developed by the Linphone team.

Belle-Sip supports multiple transports at the same time, has a dual IPv6 and
IPv4 stack, is fully asynchronous and implements the +sip.instance and alias
parameters. It also handles network disconnections better, offers a privacy API
and supports rich presence.

SIP/TLS is handled by the lightweight polarssl library (as opposed to openssl).

Relevance:

This library is required to build the latest Linphone beta version 3.6.99. It
will probably replace libosip and libeXosip, a more mature SIP stack, in future
Linphone releases.

Maintenance:

I plan to submit the package to the Debian VOIP Team and hope to contribute to
maintenance going forward.
