I assume you mean Farstream 0.2 (the parallel-installable,
GStreamer-1.0-based version of Farstream that continues to be maintained
upstream) which has been in Debian since late 2012, in the farstream-0.2
source package. Please use that in any new code that needs this
functionality, and convert old code to use it.

At this point src:farstream is only here to support ktp-call-ui and
Pidgin. We are not going to re-upload src:farstream-0.2 as
src:farstream; that would just break those packages, for no real benefit.
