gstreamer appears to be the fix (or a combination of the above packages, since it started working only when I installed gstreamer, which I installed last, naturally). I can now place and receive calls, although I have now lost the video feed on the phone in both directions... rebooting now to see if that fixes it... Interesting find though.

PS: On a side note, what are all these packages? Did I just blindly install a bunch of malware on my phone? All that for Gtalk ?

EDIT/UPDATE: So now I have no video feed on the N9 when making video calls, but the calls work (at least on the other end they can see me... and I can both receive and initiate. Could it be that codecs are missing? It looks like gstreamer is a partial fix. I could never install lame because of missing dependency issues on libncurses (the installed version on the phone is 2008xxxx while the required version for lame is 20120313 apparently and the phone refused to update to this version).
This more and more frustrating, but progress...

I'm not sure what package was responsible, but I installed:
  • mplayer_1.0svn20111001-1_armel.deb
  • libmp3lame0_3.98.4\+repack2-3~bpo60\+1_armel.deb
  • lame_3.98.4\+repack2-3~bpo60\+1_armel.deb gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.9-2maemo2_armel.deb
  • liboil0.3_0.3.17-1maemo3+0m6_armel.deb
  • gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.9-2maemo2_armel.deb

liboil and gstreamer-ffmpeg are available here

Someone please try not installing all them together so we will know

EDIT: completed the list of packages
