Voice support for gajim and pidgin

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Howdy,

I have tried both pidgin and gajim for making audio calls using my xmpp
server. Both of them say they are missing packages. Here's a sample from
gajim:

Requires: gir1.2-farstream-0.2, gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0,
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base, gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly,
gstreamer1.0-libav, and gstreamer1.0-gtk3


I even tried upgrading to jagim-git, and got the same thing. Here is how
the dependency list looks after installation completes:

(1/1) installing gajim-git

:: Running post-transaction hooks...


the output from pidgin looks very similar. So I'm curious, am I missing
something here or is audio support just broken in both of these? I have
audio support using conversations in Android, but why use that when
there's a perfectly good computer running Arch right at my fingertips
lol.

Also, I was wondering if there's a CLI based xmpp client that supports
audio? I have searched and there seem to be quite a few, but none that I
have found that specifically mentions audio with the jingle protocol, or
audio at all for that matter.

Thanks,
Storm
