Summary:                    There is no voice channel establishing between
GoogleTalk and asterisk
Description: 
The issue is absolutelly stable and blocked for GT interconnecting since
Asterisk 1.4 (at least, in case of connecting from Russia to
talk.google.com)

This caused, because googletalk not understands the <transport> sequence
from Asterisk:

JABBER: asterisk OUTGOING: <iq from='gigasim at gmail.com/Talk48CF2B75'
to='anklimov at gmail.com/Talk.v105AFCCEA63' type='set' id='aaaby'><session
type='transport-info' id='3244105671'
initiator='anklimov at gmail.com/Talk.v105AFCCEA63'
xmlns='http://www.google.com/session'>

<transport xmlns='http://www.google.com/transport/p2p'><candidate
name='rtp' address='192.168.1.2' port='65510' username='696825c97cc875ff'
password='5e3ea4ef2e33b38d' preference='1.00' protocol='udp' type='local'
network='0' generation='0'/></transport></session></iq>


Google returns an error:

JABBER: asterisk INCOMING: <iq type="error"
to="gigasim at gmail.com/Talk48CF2B75" id="aaabx"
from="anklimov at gmail.com/Talk.v105AFCCEA63"><session
type="transport-accept" id="3244105671"
initiator="anklimov at gmail.com/Talk.v105AFCCEA63"
xmlns="http://www.google.com/session"><transport
xmlns="http://www.google.com/transport/p2p"/></session><error code="501"
type="cancel"><feature-not-implemented
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas"/></error></iq>


According real traces, collected beetween two GT clients and GT Client
diagnostic logs, the only 
understandable way to send <candidates> toward googletalk is:

SEND >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> : Fri Mar 14 00:28:00 2008
<iq to="vklimova at gmail.com/Talk.v939F5BB7E6" type="set" id="113">
  <session xmlns="http://www.google.com/session" type="candidates"
id="255815956" initiator="anklimov at gmail.com/Talk.v105AFCCEA63">
  <candidate name="rtp" address="192.168.1.10" port="3510"
username="gaWVy+jKC/KQ+mIE" password="cfhluFa53hps9tq7" preference="1"
protocol="udp" type="local" network="0" generation="0"/>
  </session>
  </iq>


This approach was tested with patch attached (see Additional Info). After
patching, chan_gtalk is working acceptable. 
chan_gtalk contain plenty another bugs, perhaps. It is not send in
<candidates> external IP, that could causes unstable voice chanel
establishing in case GT client connected via https tunnel, but it requeres
additional investigation. 
Now it just working.

Can't install this one, an error message pops up, which I obviously can't
understand (written in cyrillic characters). It looks like it's an upgrade
program.

I tried to reinstall GoogleTalk on my laptop and had version 1.0.0.104
installed. I can't find any information referring to version 1.0.0.105 on
Google's site.

I understand your concern regarding the localized version of the
GoogleTalk client, but it can be solved by moving to the latest English
version (just like Mikhail Chodorenko did in bug
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=10512). Therefore, we
should not bother being compatible with older releases, as they don't work
with Asterisk for a long time now, if they ever interoperated.

Please report back your after your new testing, thanks!
