Excited to see http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-phones-from-gmail.html , I was quickly disappointed to find the plugin only supported debian and was 32 bit. However, I persevered and got it running on Fedora 12 x86_64 anyways.
Google ought to hire someone that knows about App Development and Linux Audio and Fedora packaging (me?) to make the audio/video experience nicer for it’s Linux users. In particular, not just blindly using ALSA devices for input that cannot possibly support audio capture, although I guess I’m a fringe-case since I don’t use pulseaudio, since I’ve got KDE’s phonon setup to do the right thing w/r/t all my audio devices, including the ones talking via Jackd.
