I too have had problems getting any sort of response from the
maintainer, but I'm always one to give second chances.

On a whim, I decided to try out telepathy-rakia again this morning.
Created a new SIP account on my Asterisk box, created a SIP account in
Empathy, got that both calling to Asterisk and registering to
Asterisk.  So far so good...

But then I tried to make some calls.  A call to a simple extension in
Asterisk that plays a sound prompt and then hangs up gave me no audio.
 (I tested the extension with both Twinkle and a hard phone, and
neither had any problems.)  I then made a call from Twinkle to
Empathy.  I got the notification that the call was ringing, I answered
it, and audio passed in both directions for several seconds.  When I
hung up the call in Twinkly, Empathy didn't tear down its call -- it
acted as if the call were still active for another ten seconds or so,
and then crashed.

ABRT reported that the issue is already known at
https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/44919/, which links to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=910079.

I've tried several other things this morning, but it doesn't seem
nearly stable enough to be my "daily driver" softphone.  Time to go
try out Ekiga again, it seems.
