Comment (by Xinef):

 [comment:33 deryni]:
 I admire the quality of such approach, but since audio/video is so
 protocol dependent, are you sure this is still the right one ? The only
 thing that should be in the common frame is the service's availability or
 not, actual vv should probably be kept bound to the chosen protocol. Even
 a few like MSN, Yahoo and QQ would be enough to make the majority happy.
 But my guess is most (if not all) of the project's members won't accept
 'soiling' their precious architecture.
 An intermediate approach would be to throw in the SPI audio/video only.
 Ekiga's code is available, the protocol good enough from all points of
 view, and that would give a minimal service for at least linux and Mac
 users.
