One guy in #pidgin reported that he just had voice working with:

      libnice 0.0.9
      farsight2-0.0.14
      gst-python 0.10.12
      gstreamer 0.10.24
      gst-plugis-base 0.10.24
      gst-plugins-good 0.10.15
      gst-plugins-bad 0.10.13
      gst-plugins-ugly 0.10.12
      gst-ffmpeg 0.10.8

The difference is he seems to have a newer gst-plugins-ugly. I just pointed
him to ##slackware, so maybe he can help you out.
