 > Come on guys, I mean, by now voice/video is not a hard undertaking. I
 mean there's things out there like Gstreamer and many other open-source
 projects that would make it very capable of happening. You guys seriously
 need to consider. Don't just push it off because it's not in your
 intrests. I believe many people would agree with me on it.

 If you take the time to read the comments in this ticket, you'll notice
 two major points:

 1) There is a lot of complexity in the design of pidgin to ensure that
 features like this remain as protocol and UI agnostic as possible. Its not
 as simple as plugging in gstream/farsight/libjingle and away we go.

 2) There is active work on voice and video support which is noted in this
 ticket and will also be part of a Google Summer of Code project.

 While we appreciate constructive feedback and criticism, yet another "me
 too, I need this" comment does nothing to advance the cause. If its as
 easy as you say it is, show us the code. Otherwise, sit back and
 appreciate that there are people actively working on this.
