It doesn't seem to be working right now:

svn co http://svn.openfmi.net/dev/people/danchev/kiax
svn: REPORT request failed on '/dev/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/dev/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request
(http://svn.openfmi.net)

But I suppose your patch was more or less like mine (remove all ilbc stuff
and reposition the checkboxes), isn't it?

Well, if my patches look ok then we can go with that and I can upload
tonight if nobody complains. ok?

:-) the removal saves us a lot of problems, but... we don't have portmixer
in Debian, so... wasn't it used at all in kiax? if it was used... what was
it used for that we'll be missing now?

Well, upstream should be aware of the problems that all that nonfree stuff
has and should probably drop all that from the tarball and instead recommend
the version of those libs that is tested to work well with kiax with a link
to download them from upstream.
