I have not been in contact with Xten. We are able to get one-way video 
through Asterisk. Eyebeam starts out a call with audio only and then adds 
video through reinvites. This means that canreinvite must be enabled for 
video to work at all. Unfortunatly asterisk confuses the reinvite from the 
called party.

A (_the_) sip gatekeeper. See the wiki or google. Video works when the two 
eyebeams are registered through ser. Even then, we have two problems. 

Some computers have "pops" in the audio stream they send out, others 
don't. We have found no common cause for the problems. It seems unrelated 
to cpu speed (similar cpus), the network (attached the same way to the 
same switch, no broken packets, same load), the headsets used (we tried 
exchanging them). On computers without the problem the sound is very 
_very_ good. Even the speaker phone mode is ok.

The video encoder takes way too much cpu.
