there is no GUI (in a way this is one of the nice features
of baresip), it has a command line interface.

Haven't used the program in a while so this is all from memory,
most of what i remember was from one year ago when i interacted
with the author regarding freebsd compatibility and the x11-grabber
module.

i think hitting 'h' on the screen gives you the list of
commands, and something like 'dial sip/user at ip-address' should connect
to the remote party.

you can configure the audio/video sources from the config
file (which modules, file or device names, resolution, data rates).

at the time, there was no good control on the video bandwidth
(i blame the ffmpeg libraries, which have no well documented
way to set rate limitations; there must be one, as vlc figures
it our, but we haven't been able to find the right magic).

given that baresip uses SIP, you should even be able to interact
with other SIP softphones such as XLite (i am using it on a Mac),
see www.coounterpath.org.
