Linphone is an open source (or free software) SIP Softphone, with support for several codecs.
It runs under Linux using a Gnome2 interface and under Windows.
Besides the graphical interface, a command line interface is available, called Linphonec.

Features

  • Voice, video, and text instant messaging
  • SIP protocol - interoperate with most SIP-compatible phones and proxies
  • Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Windows versions
  • SIP proxy support: registrar, proxies, with digest authentication
  • IPv6 support

It uses the GNU oSIP stack.

Since version 1.4.0 it has video support with H263-1998, MPEG4 and theora codecs.

If you want to use Linphone, please make sure that you are using ALSA sound drivers and not OSS.
Linphone should work with OSS, but most of the time you will get the most mysterious erors you have ever seen, and _if_ you hear sound, it will be slow and bad quality with OSS drivers. With ALSA sound drivers, sound quality and response is perfect.

333Linphone is excellent

by beccon, Friday 09 of March, 2007 [22:25:13 UTC]
Just tested the current Linphone Windows Version (linphone-wx.exe) with my Asterisk 1.2 server. Images and sounds are excellent (much better than I ever experienced with any other video software) The key to a good image is the correct setting of bandwidth (settings/codec settings/bandwith) If the bandwith is set too high the image will disintegrate during movements. Linphone is really great as it is the only SIP videophone software I know of which is Open Source, compatible with Asterisk and available for Linux as well as Windows. Lets hope it gains momentum by users, distributions and developers.

333Testing sound quality

I have done some tests of linphone and kphone against asterisk voicemail.
And for sound quality linphone is a clear winner. It even sounded clearly better than kphone when linphone were using the gsm codec and kphone ulaw or alaw.
