Any idea how to voice chat with yahoo users ?

Hi,

I need to voice chat with my brother. He uses yahoo messenger and he refuses to use skype for some reason

I have tried :

1. Gyache : I did not manage to install it. Moreover, some people on the forums are saying it supports voice chat rooms not voice call.

2. Skype : My brother won't use this.

3. Ekiga tweak to call yahoo : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414121

This is not ok too.

I need something which will let me voice chat with my brother . And it is also required that my brother need not do anything ( like accepting buddy for the ekiga case ).

4. Empathy : Wha. How to install it properly ?

5. Kopete : Are you sure it has voice chat ? I did not find anywhere that kopete supports voice chat.

6. Meebo : I clicked audio call after logging in. But the page keeps saying pudding media is loading. It actually never loads.

Please help. This is the only thing i am missing in linux and only reason i still have to use windows     :(:(:(:(

I am using OSS 4.1 and opera web browser and flash version is 9.
