FYI if anyone wants to try audio and video chat on the new pidgin |
| 2 |
2.6.1 release, it didn't work for me (UVC webcam) until I emerged |
| 3 |
these packages: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
pidgin-2.6.1 (with "gstreamer" USE flag enabled) |
| 6 |
gst-plugins-v4l2 |
| 7 |
gst-plugins-farsight |
| 8 |
gnome-media |
| 9 |
|

The last item was need to get gstreamer-properties, which let me |
| 11 |
define which audio/video devices to use for input and test them. If |
| 12 |
you're a gnome user you've probably already got it. Pidgin devs say |
| 13 |
they hope to allow configuration from within the app in the future, |
| 14 |
but right now it has to be done externally. |
