Hi Eugen, This is great news! I've built this in Fedora rawhide so it will arrive for further testing there tomorrow. I'll be specifically putting out an announcement to get some more testing of the pulse plugin as this is something that has been sought for quite a while :-) A couple of other small bits. Firstly I had to use the attached patch for it to build in F-15 due to tightening of the way things are built in Fedora. Not sure if this patch is the best way but its fyi Also neither the h263 nor celt plugins compiled in opal in F-15. We don't currently use either of them so its not a problem. I hope to enable celt before long now that its been announced the bitstream will soon be stable. We don't compile either h263 or iLBC (in fact we strip the source out completely) in Fedora due to the openness of them so it doesn't really bother me but that is more of a heads up.
