Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Tapioca-VoIP (http://tapioca-voip.sourceforge.net/) is a modular VoIP system that consists of a core/server that does SIP and other kind of session initialization and then handles sound exchange using GStreamer. User interfaces can comunicate with core using DBus directly or tapioca-lib, which uses DBus internally. By using Tapioca-VoIP, Kopete would win for free every procotol and codec it supports, at the moment it do Jingle, H.323, Speex and other supported by GStreamer (however their GUI is still hardcoded for Google Talk).
If they use libdbus internally, it'll work. If they use libdbus-glib internally, it WILL NOT work.
You may use raw dbus to talk to core. If you wish to use libtapioca, which is a helper to easy development and avoid dbus directly, they use libdbus-glib (AFAIK). But this is not required, just a way to make things easier (or harder in kde sense).
well, hopefully, the QtDBus code I'm writing will make the libtapioca completely useless :-)

Thiago: could you explain your comment #1?
If you try to use any library that links to libdbus-glib-1 in a KDE application, the application will not work, or the library will not. KDE applications may only link to libdbus-1 (pure) applications. Also note that, for an external application (including any eventual server), the library and the KDE application will appear as two separate connections.
I'm working on it - no ETA though.
Hey Will you are not alone on this task ;)
Assign back to kopete-devel. This will most likely be done as part of the tapioca/decibel integration work for KDE 4 (if we decide to go that route, it's not real clear yet to me)
Any progress in this bug? I think that this bug is very important for KDE Desktop
(In reply to comment #10) > Any progress in this bug? I think that this bug is very important for KDE > Desktop > Javier, To be honest I don't know the real status of Decibel, but I know that it still using tapioca-qt for voip/im stuff. So, I think it's just need someone to keep working on it. You can ask decibel related things at irc: #decibel @ freenode I'll try to get more infos about it and then report here.
Is Decibel a dead project? KDE users will have to use Pidgin/Empathy?
would be really great to have decibel/jingle support as in empathy so kde got an own solution for that.
So the great semantic desktop still has no VOIP client available, what a shame.. ;-/
please !
It seems this never happened and Tapioca-VoIP is marked as inactive nowadays, so I'll close this.
