My two cents on voice over IP. I think it is not worth the effort to integrate voice capabilities directly into Jabber. There are a number of open source IP telephony efforts already underway. A better use of time is to figure out how to link to these services within Jabber clients.
The issues associated with voice over IP are not trivial because of the quality of service requirements for good voice communication. You must deal with: echo cancellation, latency due to sound subsystem in the PC, latency due to vocoders, latency due to network, dealing with competition from bursty network traffic, etc. Even with all of the work that has been done for the past five years, VoIP is still not completely reliable.
