[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#714253: empathy: no way to control the network interface it binds to

[Tzafrir Cohen]

Package: empathy
Version: 3.4.2.3-2+deb7u1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to use empathy on Wheezy as a SIP client.

I have a tunnel (tun0) set up to a remote interface, as well as eth0
bridged through interface br0.

I would have expected the traffic to go through br0.

I tried to configure a SIP account on a local SIP server. This, however,
has completely failed, as empathy tried to connect through tun0.
