Linphone
From Openmoko
Linphone is a Voice over IP ( VoIP ) application. Its purpose is to make phone calls over the data network, instead of using the telephony network.

SHR-U
Linphone is still not in the SHR-unstable repository but can be built following Building SHR with
cd shr-unstable/openembedded/recipes/libosip2 cp libosip2_3.1.0.bb libosip2_3.3.0.bb cd ../../.. bitbake linphone
My linphone packages are here [1] Because of alsa audio errors printed when running which can be seen if you run LinPhone from the commandline, I had to move away
mv /etc/asound.conf /etc/asound.conf.bak
and then put it back when done. If this is not done it get overloaded by printing the error message. I also remember there was some problem with the mic audio setting. Maybe some could add this here or maybe the koolu setting below is working. I have not tried it yet.
You may want to add gtk+ and libglade dependencies to bitbake recipe file (shr-unstable/openembedded/recipes/linphone/linphone_3.1.0.bb):
DEPENDS = "intltool libosip2 speex libogg alsa-lib readline libexosip2 gtk+ libglade"
Qtopia
Here is a way to get the command line linphone working on Qtopia. Ideally this could be interfaced with the dialer somehow. Download link broken.
echo "src/gz celtune http://rabenfrost.net/celtune/ipk/armv4t" >/etc/opkg/general-feed.conf opkg update opkg install libmediastreamer0 opkg -nodeps install linphone opkg -nodeps install liblinphone2 linphonec linphone-rings opkg install libexosip2 cd /etc/ wget http://www.koolu.org/asound.conf wget http://www.koolu.org/voip-handset.state alsactl -f voip-handset.state restore # This step required to set proper audio parameters linphonec soundcard use 0 proxy add
Initial testing of this had the audio routed properly through the earpiece and good audio from the microphone. There was some echo on the non-Freerunner side, and on initial connection, a bit of a beeping sound. Otherwise, it's a go. Linphone uses only about 10-12% CPU (was using a PCM codec). Sound was decent to a cell phone in Canada using a Wifi connected Freerunner based in Costa Rica.
Here is a quick and dirty how-to. Enhancements can be made to both the voip-handset.state and asound.conf files (these were my initial working scripts). Thanks to Celtune for the excellent repository that is used below.
