In the future please submit these as pull requests via
https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main they will get address much faster
than trying to sift through trac.

Might be tough as the main person familiar with it has been out of
touch for a bit now.

Our intent is not to backport stuff to 2.x.y.  If it needs to go in
2.x.y it does and is then forward ported into 3.0.0 when we release
the 2.x.y version.

ABI was broken in that patch.  I'm not qualified enough in
gstreamer/farstream to present any solutions, so what did you have in
mind?

Thanks,
