[jdev] Jabber client as sip2xmpp gateway for voice

[Norman Rasmussen]

So do you mean: add code so that if someone calls your jabber client
using jingle, you can hand off that call to a sip phone somewhere
else?

It sounds like this should be implemented as a non-interactive client
that only supports the jingle-to-sip translation.
