Summary: New Prpl

Initial Comment:
This prpl implements the PalTalk Protocol in oldstatus CVS.

I did most of the reverse engineering with PalTalk 5.x
about a year ago, and finally got around to writing a
prpl for it. I have updated it to be compatible with
the new PalTalk 8.x clients [there were some protocol
changes in between].

I'm planning to port this up to head once it becomes a
bit more stable. I have tested this with gaim 1.3.0
stable and oldstatus.

The attached file contains a diff against this
evening's oldstatus (6/9), and the additional files.

It would be much better if you'd actively work with the gaim-vv 
team on the design. That way, you could end up with code that 
works for both of you. This is good for both parties because it 
increases the number of developers for the code, reduces code 
duplication (your plugin can use the sound subsystem you wrote 
which would be merged into gaim-vv and eventually gaim), and 
shows that you're willing to cooperate. It likely won't take much 
extra time, and you'll probably get good ideas from the gaim-vv 
guys in the process.

If they would like to use my sound code, once I get it
stable, they're more than welcome to.

It's a pity you have decided to implement your own sound
subsystem rather than help out the gaim-vv team, whether it
uses gstreamer or not.

I deleted the attachement because the code was a bit more
buggy than I would have liked. I've since fixed it, and I've
been implementing some features that aren't already present
in gaim (i.e. audio support, yes I know about gaim-vv, but
they don't have audio support yet, and I don't really like
how buggy gstreamer is.) I've been maintaining it in a
private CVS that I've been keeping in step with
oldstatus-cvs. My code could still be integrated into
oldstatus, with a few modifications.

I'd recommend maintaining this separate of Gaim. See 
meanwhile.sf.net as an example.
