I developped and maintain a branch of gossip (with telepathy backend)
fully supports telepathy Voip/Video calls. You can get it:

darcs get http://www.gnome.org/~rslinckx/darcs/gossip-telepathy-voip

Of course you need to get the telepathy stack.

It supports jingle calls, and interaction with google-talk clients
(voice only). Of course as more telepathy backend acquire voip/video
capabilities, gossip will support them as well without modification (for
example the SIP connection manager (maybe one day when it's released by
nokia) would make gossip a full SIP client).

There is only one missing thing beside bugfixes and UI polish, it's the
ability to call someone not on your contact list (think dialpad).
