As a followup to my previous post about Jingle, Jingle (and Jingle audio) are now official JEPs (albeit experimental status) (stpeter, Hal Rottenberg) Psi has pledged to support it, although probably it won’t happen for a while. But I’m still looking forward to it. (IMHO, Psi is the best Jabber client out there.) And of course Google, being a co-author of the standard, is supporting it. Interestingly, Digium (the guys behind Asterisk telephony) also pledged support, which probably means we will be seeing a Jingle/IAX gateway at some point. Although I’m sure the Digium guys are more creative than me when it comes to figuring out what Jabber can do for Asterisk.
Update: (at 19:29 -0500) The Google Talk blog also mentions Jingle, and Google has released libjingle, their implementation that they use in Google Talk, and released under a BSD-style license. With libjingle released, this should help speed up Jingle support in Jabber components. (Now I’m just waiting for Google to support s2s communication in their servers.)
Update: (at 21:18 -0500) Apparently, there is now a development version of Psi that supports Jingle voice chat. It’s not yet stable, but it’s a start.
