i agree on all those points. The package should be splitted in more 
components:
- liblinphone (only libs)
- linphonec (console only)
- linphone-gtk (gtk-only gui, in order to get rid of too complex gnome 
dependencies)
- linphone-gnome (for people who whishes a smart integration of linphone in 
gnome)
- linphone-kde (a kde gui).

Unfortunately I have no time to spend on rewritting the gnome interface to 
make it gtk-only or gnome-optionnal. I wish one day somebody takes the 
responsability of the gui, so that I'll only have to concentrate on linphone 
's libs.
Same for linphone-kde that does not exist yet..

This have been contributed one year ago, but discontinued.

Not possible for the moment.

Speex is very good codec, I think it is mandatory for linphone to be a good 
sip-phone. We must encourage patent-free codecs.
