I haven't tried compiling it lately, YMMV.

It's somewhat choppy when you're doing things on the desktop (at 
least on my ~680mhz PB) -  I tried and was able to get xten's 
softphone running through it, and also the iax client for MacOS X 
(see the archives.)  At the moment, it's a curiosity but I'd suggest 
testing on a G5 or an Xserv before thinking that it's a real solution.

G729 will not work, as I assume it's pre-compiled for Linux on i386 
only.  I don't recall if speex has a fink port to OSX, either... but 
the other codecs work fine.
