[gaim-migrate @ 10379] " When unqueuing messages and "sounds while away" is set, Gaim will play a message receieved for every message unqueued. If there are a large number of messages, my SB Audigy tries playing them all and ends up creating a crackly ugly sound. Friends of mine have complained about this as well. This patch fixes that by making sure sounds are disabled when unqueuing messages. Sounds will be re-enabled afterwards if necessary. Something to note is that playing the sounds when unqueuing messages crashes Gaim on occasion, with about 50% success. After applying this patch, the crashes stopped. The backtrace isn't particularly helpful...it's all question marks and valgrind doesn't say much either. Crash or no crash though, this eliminates annoying behavior so that is probably more important. I originally fixed this for my plugin AutoProfile, but since they use similar code for queuing messages, it would be nice if Gaim has it as well :)" --Casey Ho committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

SILC Gaim Plugin
================

This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live 
Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared --without-silcd --without-irssi
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
