I do not know the answer to your specific request but just in case you 
are not aware of it please check the voice and video branch as that 
seems to have the greatest chances of becoming part of the official pidgin.

You'd need to fix (if needed) the msn webcam support in fs2 and in 
pidgin add the needed support in the existing msn purple plugin.

No I wasn't. Now I've noticed that there are some efforts. Maybe i
should first ask on the pidgin mailing list about the progress of this
branch. Thank you for the hint.

Ok, it looks like a bit of work :-)...

In the current git repository of fs2 there aren't any existing general
FsPlugins. I only found some transmitter plugins. Is there any
documentation or any examples out there which describes the integration
of a FsPlugin in fs2?

Look at the pidgin-vv work done by Maiku, he was interested in having
msn webcam support.

In farsight2, FsPlugins are only used for RTP transmitters. The protocol
plugins are regular gstreamer plugins that implement a certain interface
called FsConference. There is a branch with a msn webcam plugin at
http://github.com/dksaarth/farsight2-msn-plugin/tree/master
I've started cleaning it up to satisfy my merging requirements, but I
haven't finished yet..

And I didn't have time to work on it for the last month..
