This should work of course.

However there was a problem at some point - I think it was rfcomm -
which introduced new codecs and somehow the connection to gtalk wasn't
working anymore. Same problem could have been with ogg support.

I'm not in a position to fix this, however I may be able to verify it.

Don't have windows right now, so I can't test with Google's client.

However I have called from the N810 to my Linux Machine running Empathy
and audio works. Video does not because the Webcam on my Linux Machine
is not set up, yet. So when enabling video empathy hangs up. In general
it works and it should work of course with google's gtalk client.

Please file a bug report at bugs.maemo.org

Regards,

Mike
