Don't know - I haven't used any of them for ages.  Ekiga used to be 
gnome-meeting, and sound and vision both worked then.  Doubtless evolution 
has brought some difficulties, but I couldn't say whether they have been 
solved.

One you didn't mention is amsn.  That had video but no sound last time I used 
it - but that's well over a year ago, so it may be fixed by now.

Have you read the web sites for any of these?  I would have thought that you 
could get a good idea of the state of affairs from those pages.
