XMPP chat

Dear #lazyweb, recommendations for XMPP chat client supporting audio and video? Bonus points if it also supports OTR.

Normally I use Gajim, but for Debian right now, audio and video are broken in Gajim.

I believe Jitsi supports all of that.  The features list is quite thorough.

True, but Pidgin also supports being pwd by loads of zerodays, because libpurple security is like Swiss cheese.

(Although, IIRC Gajim is libpurple-based anyway, sooo...)

Ah, right now in Debian Sid there are some dependencies blocking the Jitsi install. In a few days, though!
