Comment(by q10):

 I agree with deadowl.  I don't quite understand the difference between
 Pidgin (if it had vv) and Empathy, since both aim to use Farsight2.
 However, we do need to start building voice/video plugins to Farsight2 for
 every "lesser" protocol imaginable that supports it, especially QQ (The
 main QQ client that most people use is even more bloated with ad/spyware
 than Windows Live).

 topic. I have a feeling that Pidgin is going to lose developers to GNOME's
 almost-supports-what-I-want-but-not-quite Empathy if Pidgin doesn't start
 visibly attempting to support voice and/or video anytime soon.

 and confused by it a number of times. Wouldn't the appropriate course of
 action be to start a new ticket for this issue instead of cluttering up an
 unrelated and already over cluttered ticket. That way everyone interested
 can find the discussion and people not interested don't get emails about
 it.
