1. Download msx264 plugin source code.
2. Run sudo apt-get install libmediastreamer-dev libx264-dev libavcodec-dev libswscale-dev libtheora-dev to meet msx264's dependency requirements.
3. Run ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib. It's mandatory to set prefix to /usr/lib, because linphone can't find the plugin if it's installed in default location, /usr/local/lib.
4. Run sudo make install.
5. Change the line 393 in src/msx264.c from
393 if (sws_scale(s->sws_ctx,(uint8_t * const*)orig->data,orig->linesize, 0,
393 if (sws_scale(s->sws_ctx,(uint8_t **)orig->data,orig->linesize, 0,
6. Restart linphone, the h.264 plugin should be available now.

Thank you very much for leading me to this information. I can't say that it has fully resolved my video issues but it *did* provide the promised plugin.
I have a few modifications to your tutorial which were necessary on my ubuntu lucid machine. They are, based on your above steps:
2. Had to add libsdl1.2-dev to your dependency mix PRIOR to the next step.
3. Should be: ./configure --prefix=/usr
Your prefix resulted in the program's being installed in /usr/lib/lib/~, where linphone was unable to find it.
5. Typo, "line 293" should be "line 393".
With these changes everything worked as promised!
Thanks for pointing them out.
