Summary:                    [branch] Receiving Text from res_jabber
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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
To make this even more useful:

Would it be possible to have a "textcontext" declared in jabber.conf, such
that an incoming text message creates a very short call in the declared
context; the expected code would need to do a JabberReceive (which would,
of course, always complete immediately) and then do whatever other
processing is appropriate.

It could send another text back, issue another JabberReceive, and carry on
a dialogue without an audio call ever being established.  As long as the
dialplan code does not exit, further text messages FROM THE SAME
BUDDY/Resource would continue to be queued for that "call", if the call
exits without clearing all the incoming text messages, a new call would be
started as soon as the current one exits.

If a real call from the same buddy/resource were to come in, JabberReceive
would return a special status, and the call would now behave as with the
existing incoming call code and could be answered.  If a call comes in it
would ring until answered, but if no Jabberreceive is executed before the
current text "call" exits, a new call at the normal call context would be
started.

Please consider this.  Thank you.
