I have a question about this bug report. I have installed empathy-2.26.2-1.fc11, as well as the package versions mentioned above, i.e.

farsight2-0.0.12-1.fc11
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.15-3.fc11

but I have no package called gstreamer-plugins-bad, neither from the yum repositories (it does not seem to exist there) nor from rpmfusion or any other source.

Here are my questions:
1) Do they messages above imply that Empathy should work with the package versions I have?

2) When I try to make a voice call to somebody running the Google Talk client on Windows, the connection is made, but there is no sound on either end. After a few seconds, Empathy freezes and needs to be killed by force. Could this symptom be explained based on the missing/wrong package discussion above? Should I file a separate bug report for this?
[Note: Empathy works very well if the other person calls me.]

3) This page
http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#head-0cf7b08b5a6dd38484cb692f72da4475997aa008
says that the gstreamer-plugins-bad package is required on Fedora 11 and I must install it by hand. Is this still true?

4) The same page also says I need gstreamer-ffmpeg package. Is that true? Is that only for Video, or do I need it anyway? What is the recommended way of getting it?

Thank you very much in advance for any information you may have for me.
