Sorry for being late. We'd like to add telepathy-farsight[0] as an external
dependency for that for Empathy's voip support. Which itself depends on
farsight2[1] and indirectly on libnice[2] Currently it uses
telepathy-stream-engine

Currently empathy uses telepathy-stream-engine, which uses farsight 1. Which is
at this point basically unsupported and unmaintained.
