The iLBC codec has been moved to a separate package called milbc, which 
also can be built using build.pl.

     ./build.pl bootstrap+configure+compile+install milbc

It is installed in the libminisip plugins directory, and is 
automatically loaded by libminisip.

You need to change the audio device in the minisip settings. Use alsa: 
as a prefix to specify an ALSA device, for example alsa:default if you 
want to use the default ALSA device.
