I'm a bit new to userland programming - most of my work has been drivers or bootloaders and my experience with user code have generally been harrowing - with the exception of QT.

Ditto. Which means I need to modify my claim that qgvdial is faster.
Unless otherwise proven, qgvdial should be at least as fast as DC.

I learnt from the best.

I would hope I could have GStream stream directly from the GV site but unsure about permissions. I've been busy with some other audio apps and my Qt ports to work on this.
Voicemail is easy - GV site play link returns mp3 data (after a temporarily moved error). Save to a file and play it. Found this out the easy way - from the n900 browser if I click play, it asks to save an mp3.
Playing it directly didn't work for me through the media player nor through qtm-mediaplayer.

Since qtm-multimedia uses gstreamer as backend, it should be possible to add the gstream play to DC.
