I'd love to have https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/17246 resolved.
Does the patch I attached there make sense?

We still haven't got full audio working — I've been able to save it to
a .wav file for weeks, but persuading Pidgin to actually *play* the
stream is distinctly non-trivial. But I think the above is all we need
in Pidgin itself, to make it stop crashing when we use anything other
than fsrtpconference. I'd love someone with a clue to take a look
though.

It's also been pointed out to me that since I brought the 2.x branch up
to date with everything we needed for Lync, other things have been
added to 3.x and not backported. This one in particular, which *mostly*
looks like it can go in without changing ABI, with a few tweaks:
