I couldn't start a skype call to a phone number using the unmodified code (probably had never tried it before).

I wasn't able to start a video call with the unmodified version but not sure it is for the same reason or not.

One big problem then:
If according to the documentation I should not use the "initialaudio" nor the "initialvideo" with ensurechannel how can I get skype to start a video call instead of an audio call? Maybe I can't/shouldn't.... I assume that is why I started using the "initialaudio"/"initialvideo"

Do you know how what version of telepathy we have on the n900? I don't think it is the 0.2.0. Is it?
Interesting point about the video call - there ought to be a way for devs to begin a channel and specify "audio only" or "video only" or "audio+video". If it isn't possible at the time of channel creation at least there should be a way to enable it once the channel is established. Or something.

The n900 still has 0.19 I think.
