I'm not sure what SIP is but I can confirm that Skype can do
conferencing of up to 8 I think. Remember that Skype as well as being
proprietary is also p2p rather than client-server and can be pretty
bandwidth heavy. It sounds like you might want to look at teamspeak, a
client-server conferencing program used in online gaming. There's
another one called something like ventrino.
They may all be proprietary (and may only be windows) - these things
didn't matter when I was gaming as the game only ran under windows anyway.
