I've just had a look at this and pushed an update to get it to build
on 15.0.

SIP shows in pidgin's "add account" menu as SIMPLE, and I
successfully managed to make an account and register it to my
asterisk PBX.

I added a buddy, which was my home phone, but it shows offline, so
"enable offline buddies" then configure the buddy to always show is
needed.

That's as far as I tested it, but I noticed some menu entries to
configure audio/video, so I imagine it ought to work.
