Comment (by iwkse):

 If it can be easier to explain the situation, i'll say that audio/video
 stuff will NOT be present in gaim/pidgin.[[BR]]
 The explaination is easy if you try to read some info over the net or even
 you can guess reading the Sean Egan wiki page.
 To remember you guys, Mr. Egan was hired by google to work on google
 talk...which casually *has* video support and still casually the first
 beta was released on  August 24, 2005.
 So just check a moment when gaim-vv stopped to be developed..."Sep 21,
 2005 - Delayed announcement that gaim-vv is dead."
 Oh..curious..neither one month!
 So open source community, the truth isn't that Mr. Egan do not have time
 or will or even friends without a webcam (ahah) to work on the video (he
 already did it for google talk) but he just WILL NOT DO. [[BR]]
 Pay him more than google did, or just (preferred choice) remove
 gaim/pidgin from your pc and uses something else and stick with your open
 ideals.[[BR]]

 With the best regards[[BR]]
