Flashphoner support audio and video connections. In the first case it transcodes Speex codec to the codec G.711, in the second case - transcodes Sorenson Spark codec to the codec H.263.
Both of these bundles (Speex-G.711 and Sorenson Spark-H.263) handle by the server side and not loaded the client application.

Support SIP 2.0
