WebRTC code in code.google.com only contains the video and audio codec, the RTP stack. The libjingle project contains the API of webRTC, it looks nurse but it's true. Besides, the libjingle has the stacks of XMPP and STUN, ICE implementation. If you want to make a total solution for VOIP, you have to build both.
XMPP is a messaging protocol. Jingle the subprotocol that XMPP uses for establishing voice-over-ip calls or transfer files. WebRTC is a Javascript API (there is also a library implementing that API).
You can use Jingle as a signaling protocol to establish a peer-to-perconnection between two XMPP clients using the WebRTC API. This shows an example in Javascript that works in Chrome and Firefox (and Microsoft Edge if you only want audio).
