While being not in a knowledgeable position to answer any of your
questions I'd second to your request for a simple use case.

For the simplest use case at all you don't need anything except e.g.
jitsi, though this assumes your laptop IP is DNS-resolvable (or you only
operate on a local network).

The second simplest use case ever would be something like to only use a
sip-registrar, i.e. a primitive sip-server accepting "foreign" INVITE
requests and replying only either with 404 (i.e. you are unknown to this
server), 480 (you are currently not "logged in"), or 302 (redirect to
some udp port in your laptop). Thats it; everything else is a business
of your sip-client to deal with.

If you manage to figure out how to put sipwitch into that primitive mode
(and turn off everything else at source code level), it would be great.  :-)
