Sounds rather like you want to sell the full version.

Myself, I don't know about recent betas since, frankly, I didn't care
anymore after initial experiences being pretty much disappointing.

The first beta I got produced no audio at all, and we had a tough
time to convince the developer that it wasn't a driver issue.

The next releases then had huge latencies, primarily due to the Xlite
audio setup. Now, I admit that setting up audio for interactive/'realtime'
apps on linux is a mess, but various open source projects have already
done much better.

So no, in contrast to your plug I'm not as enthusiastic myself, especially
since audio quality resp. latency is the one major trouble I had with linux
softphones. E.g. iaxcomm would be great and totally satisfying for me if
latency were (significantly) less than 1 second.
