Are we certain that is true?  There are a couple open voice-over-xmpp
specs (really voice-call-setup-over-xmpp).  I haven't diddled with
Google's client,  but it would be interesting to see what, if any, JEP
they are invoking for the voice feature.  Since the google client
doesn't support SSL just sniff the connection.
