I am trying to find a program, Gnome or KDE, which has the MSN
protocol and uses a web cam and a microphone. The nearest I have
found is kopete, but that uses a keyboard, not a microphone.
Audio conference is still very alpha stage in linux, unfortunately. But most
programs by now should accept webcam displays, as well as access your own
(supported) webcam.
I use amsn because it supports those animated smiley icons that everybody (but
me) need to talk, and at the time I chose, it was the only one to have that.
I don't have a webcam myself, but a friend who does can make it work with
other (gnome) programs, but in amsn the screen other peers receive is dark
(as if he had the lights very low). One can only see him in the shadows.
Much any program I know for linux is multi-protocol (except for amsn), and
most are very fine. That's cool, because so many people are beggining to use
gmail's google talk.
If you use KDE, kopete will integrate with your contacts list, kaddressbook,
amarok (so you can show what songs you are listening, etc).
You can try also gaim, as it will probably be the first one to support audio
conference (look for the farsight project).
