Hello

I'm looking for a IAX2 client (with encryption!) to use on Debian
testing. I've tried the sflphone-gnome 0.9.8.4-1 package from Debian,
but that gets me two problems (well, three, I'll get to that in an
instant):

- somehow it never saves configuration information, each time I start
it I need to configure it anew
- I've checked traffic with tcpdump and it *does not* seem to encrypt
IAX2 traffic. At least, the user name is passed in the clear, along
with some hash of the password it seems (is it a secure handshake or
just some useless scrambling?), also "Dumped call" appears at the end
of a call, all of which only makes me think it does not encrypt
anything at all

Should I try the newest release from source?

Also there is a long standing problem with Debian and VoIP solutions:
microfone input is not downsampled / lowpass filtered correctly. All
the voip programs with the exception of Skype are requesting 8000
samples per second and on two of three laptops I own, Debian (plain
ALSA without pulseaudio) is delivering those as momentary values of an
input signal that has not been low pass filtered, so sound quality is
horrible. On one of my laptops I installed OSS4 for this reason, which
delivers good sound quality, but the pain of dealing with OSS4 (no
real suspend support, application compatibility) makes me not to want
to go the same route with my new laptop.

Does anyone here know how to fix Debian/ALSA? Or could anyone help me
figure out where to patch sflphone to request samples at 48kHz or so
and downsample properly in the application?

(Also, are you developers in some IRC channel?)

Thanks
Christian.
