Advice: ARM for V2IP

["list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I need to choose a chip able to manage Video+Voice over IP
with Linux.

Which vendor would you suggest?

My main concerns here are:
- Possibility to fully exploit the hardware _without_
  closed-source modules (especially video compression
  cores)
- Linux support in upstream repositories, possibly with
  contribution from the vendor
- Chip unit price (perhaps in the ARM9 range)

Major hardware requirements: Ethernet, QVGA
acquisition+compression, video decompression+playback,
and some more horsepower for voice signal processing
and to run GUI applications.

Thanks,
Luca Ceresoli
