Apparently the ooVoo people have been working on a Linux port since 2007. Yes, 5 years. This tells me that ooVoo will never get ported. Even if it does, it will be a poor-quality port.

There is an API at http://www.tokbox.com/ that is open source. I don't know much about it, but their site shows some screen shots of ooVoo-like 4-people video chats.
