I'm using "voip" overlay ("layman -a voip" will help), but the new linphone 
still isn't there. I just renamed the latest ebuild and adjusted SOURCE. 
Herewith I attached the ebuild, however you have to use voip overlay anyway 
because of the package dependencies. Would be nice if you can test it. I've 
never used linphone before, is voice quality is good for 1.7.x versions?
