Not sure about the logistics of this but support for audio and video conferencing would be cool. Especially if you could limit it to specific groups/individuals.

It would open up the possibility to use the chat for one on one tutorials, or one on many online lectures, demonstrations, live web TV even having multiple cams broadcast to many (all room participants). Could even use used for enhanced social network or smutty dating websites. The possibilities and uses for this sort of plugin would be huge.

Perhaps it would need some assistance from Red5, Wowzer or similar. (Preferably open source :-)

I know its possible from the Inspired work on the OpenFire extension: http://code.google.com/p/inspired-social/ This is what they claim to use within their tool bar chat:

XMPP Webclient (competitor to Candy)
SIP Webphone (http://www.phono.com)
SIP Audio Conference Bridge (red5-voicebridge)
RTMFP Video/Audio Conferencing (redfire)
RTMP Screen Share (red5-screenshare)
Embedded RTMP Server (Milenia Grafter 64K RTMP Server)

Of course there are other options.

This would be an amazing addition! :-)
