I'm afraid, I need one more hint what this means about what I should do.
Should I look into some file, or should I install some package, or both,
or something else?

I have libvpx installed and many packages with ‘libx264’, because I have
installed every package that contains ‘264’ and is not obviously
irrelevant.

I have seen that there are plugins at
http://www.linphone.org/eng/download/. It says ‘We provide [the
following] codec plugins’. I don't know whether that means that they are
contained in Linphone or that I need to install them – and if the
latter, how. All this seems to require quite much more than ordinarly
user knowledge.

In the dark,
Daniel
