Ok!
Obviously I was only half war right. Here I have some descriptions from
a colleague living in Hawaii:

Hi Klaus,
Haha, living in Hawaii doesn't mean I am authoritative. :) But here is
my 2 cents.
Hawaiian word wastes no letters. All letters are pronounced. All vowels
are pronounced the same.
http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/6794/o-pronunciation.html.
The exception is the first 'i' because of the 'okina (') in front of
it. Okina (') or the glottal stop is a true consonant of the Hawaiian
language.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okina. I would pronounce the
first 'i' as 'i' in city. Since Okina ' is a letter, Kama'ilio is
one
single word, not two words.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi!
I think this is wrong - do not pronounce it in English.
Kamailio is written Kama'ilio. Thus, 2 words. There is a glottal stop
inbetween. I am not a linguist but I think it should be:
K about as in English
a like a in far
m about as in English
a like a in above
' glottal stop
i like ee in see
l about as in English
i like y in city
o like o in sole
Please see attached the pronunciation theory, and how I would pronounce it.
