I just had a look at Gaim's website today
(http://gaim.sourceforge.net) and saw this:

"I (Sean) have been hired by Google, moved to Seattle, and have been
working on the Google Talk team for about a month and a half. The goal
of Google Talk is to make real-time communication as open as possible,
and in that regard, I've been working to offer all of Google Talk's
features into other clients. Currently, I'm working on making it as
easy as possible for other clients to use Google Talk's voice
features. You can expect Gaim and other clients to be interoperable
with Google Talk's voice features in the near future."
