i think you are exagerating a bit here. there are ways to override
linkage of libraries with new ones for modules, for example using
ldconfig environmental variables, pre-linking or static linking.

regarding the broader issue of VOIP:

i recommend to start avoiding the use of skype, as it is NOT an open
source technology and as you see we cannot distribute it ready on our
CD: instead included in dyne:II are Kiax and Iaxcomm pre-configured to
use BLASTERISK - at the time being working well for voice, needing
some more development for video.

my opinion is that development efforts should be driven in the
direction of substituting skype with a really free open source
technology, so that besides having a VOIP system people can build
their own local TELCO instead of being dominated by foreign
corporations owning the communication infrastructure.

a good start for developers (on all levels, anyone out there wanting
to start a new independent telco for your community?) is the excellent
work people at IT46.se are doing: http://www.it46.se/voip4d/voip4d.php

ciao
