 OpenFire, and SJECS (Sun Java Communication Suite).

 Our requirements are for collaboration (multiple users simultaneous
 chatting together- with audio/video if possible), realtime audio/video
 (with a preference for audio; ergo video can go to the dogs to maintain
 audio quality, although a means to adjust this- on the fly if possible-
 would be useful), and chat.

 Tall order, eh? Ease of admin would be good, but my main concern is
 stability and reliability (I'll make up a software solution to
 administrate if needs be).
 Take a look at mingle (MUC + jingle) --- this should not depend on the xmpp
 server you use. As for that, I recommend ejabberd 2 (not yet in ports).

I would recommend ejabberd, and I didn't even know there was a 2
version out. We used ejabberd successfully in the past.

I would avoid OpenFire, some pretty gnarly vulnerabilities were
announced today, and the vendor doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fix them.
