Yeah, I figured packet sniffing would be the first step. I'd probably work
on the sender side first, since that should just be a matter of a menu or
button with a list and then sending the appropriate message (which is
hopefully just some sort of specially-formatted string). I'll see if I can
get the packet sniffing done this weekend.

Hi,

the first thing that needs to be done is reverse-engineer how the audibles
work, that means sniff the packets, the official client sends/retrieves
and
understand what happens. This behaviour must then be implemented in
Kopete.

If that is done, the rest shouldn't be too hard. IIRC the audibles are
little
flash files, so you'd need to download and probably best cache them
somewhere
and find out how to display them in the chatwindow and find a way to let
the
user select one to be sent.

If you want to tackle it, i'd be glad to help you where i can, if you get
stuck at some point.

André
