I figured this out: H264 does not work if Ekiga is compiled with gcc 4.3 (at least gcc-4.3.0-8.i386 from Fedora 9). If I compile opal (and ptlib+ekiga) with gcc 3.4 then H264 works! Of course I dont know why this is happening but I get this behaviour on two machines. I dont remember any error messages or anything suspicious when things were compiled with 4.3. It also seems to work with gcc-4.1.2 but I did not test that carefully.
