I just tried it by calling a friend of mine.  The sound quality is
pretty good.  Not quite as crystal clear as Skype but not bad either.
I'm sure it will only improve with time.  If you go to your Google
Voice account you can setup the service to ring GoogleTalk along with
any other phones you want.  Its pretty nice.
