Summary:                    Receiving Text from chan_gtalk
Description: 
Hello,

So far, chan_gtalk sends text to GTalk clients only. There is no way to
hear input from them which limit us a lot.

It will be awesome if we are able to receive text from GTalk users, to
provide extra services such as:

1) Voice menus. The user can select menus by sending corresponding keys
2) Or, "text" menus by which the chan_gtalk replies by text messages
instead of voice

I am glad that phsultan thought about it, however very disappointed that
it was canceled.

PH : I tried to address the segfault problem in the new patch, please test.
Also, in this new version, JabberReceive takes two arguments, first one
being the Jabber ID we're expecting a message from.

I'll add a timeout argument too, because it is currently stuck to 10s.

eech55 : new patch should make your dialplan example work now.

Note on SendText : SendText can be used instead of JabberSend if the
channel is of type Gtalk. We could also imagine a use case outside of Gtalk
like :
[sip-context]
exten => s,1,answer()
exten =>
s,n,JabberSend(asterisk,philippe.sultan at gmail.com,${CALLERID(name)} is
trying to call ${EXTEN}, allow?)
exten => s,n,JabberReceive(philippe.sultan at gmail.com,RCV_EXT)
... string comparison, etc. ...

The considered context can be SIP/IAX or whatever protocol related, the
Jabber* applications are used by the administrator to interact with
Asterisk.

Guys, thank you very much for your help, we're close to having a new
valuable Asterisk application ;)
