Comment (by compengi):

 Replying to [comment:19 notak]:
 > '''The audio stuff''' is basically quite cleanly implemented. My main
 issue is that in linux it isn't going to be too useful until the relevant
 codec gets included into normal codec packs. Until then I think the option
 is useful, since it will reject the attempt to send an audio clip at the
 other end, and stop the sender getting the impression that the receiver
 has received the message, so I'm quite keen on retaining the protocol
 option.[[BR]]
 notak, what i think is that if distro developers would see that a special
 codec is important/wanted for/by any well known application like Pidgin
 then they would begin to include it in there default codec packs, but
 since it's not well used or asked for to be used, they won't include it. I
 can give you an example of that, if you work or used to work on Ubuntu
 before Feisty release, you used to download each media codec, java, flash
 etc.. alone, but when developers saw that people need those packages they
 joined them in one single package called ubuntu-restricted-extras. So in
 my opinion i think you should go ahead and merge your audio stuff in
 Pidgin.
