Mumble is the only one that springs to mind: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ Its designed more for chat rooms but may be suitable.


Mumble works very well, but:

- It's not real p2p, it needs a server somewhere. OP can install one at home or they can use a public one, but it's required (and if you use a public server, you lose some privacy)

- Mumble only does Audio, no Video.

If you can live with those, mumble is the most straightforward Open Source voip solution to use, and I can't recommend it enough (been using it with my relatives, me on Linux, them on Windows: no problem)


It also uses OPUS as the audio codec and has mobile clients, which is kinda nice :)
