Thanks for the ebuild. I'll try to fit it in over the weekend on both 32 bit 
and 64 bit.

I mostly use 1.7.1 on a 350MHz k6-2 with a yealink p1k USB handset and the 
yeaphone interface to the CLI version of linphone. All controll is on the 
phone so you can use it headless. Limiting factor for the voice quality is 
the handset not the software. With better hardware it's certainly no worse 
than any other softphone I've used, though I haven't used softphones as much 
since getting Aastra SIP hardware. The only one I really remember having 
trouble with is Twinkle. It's got a great GUI but I've never managed to get 
breakup-free voice on any of 3 machines.
