There is an old plugin in farsight1 that has not even been ported to the
current fs1 api. I don't know if its still current with the yahoo
protocol or not.

To get yahoo webcam working with Telepathy, you'd have to write a whole
yahoo connection manager, which is a non-trivial amount of work. And
then implement a farsight2 plugin for the webcam stuff (porting a plugin
from fs1 to fs2 is really rewriting it from scratch, the plugin api is
very different).

To test a telepathy connection manager, there's empathy, but there are
also a bunch of python tests build for the already existing CMs (gabble
and telepathy-sofiasip). If you want to do it, the telepathy mailing is
the best place to ask.

Another option is to start with the pidgin code and just add the webcam
signalling code to their yahoo plugin and then, using the pidgin-vv
branch, you can integrate the fs2 plugin into there, so that saves you
from writing a whole connection manager. But that won't make it work
with telepathy/empathy/etc.
