That's chan_sccp from chan-sccp.sourceforge.net?

I know about the problems with the 30vip and am slowly fixing them. but
the issue with the sound is seemingly a bug in asterisk that says to
tell the other device that 127.0.0.1 is the best route for RTP.

chan_sccp has more features (and will have several more once I can get a
current generation phone to test them on), but is less stable.
As for the phones that support SIP, my view is that unfortunatly for now
SIP is the better choice for stability and feature support.
