Inbound GV calls using a free DID was covered several times in this thread, but I didn't see free outbound calls using GV. You can initiate a call from a PC when signed on to GV. GV will call your DID and after you answer, GV will complete the outbound call. I know this is a pain, but for those that want FREE this is a solution.
Apparently, there is a way to do it through Sipsorcery, but I do not know the details.

Yes, this works. But will it continue to work after Google disables XMPP in May 2014?

You have to setup a provider with your GV credentials and a callback number. Then add some code in your Dialplan to use the provider. It's relatively easy and there many examples on their forum.
The problem with SipSorcery is it's not free and costs $69 per year. It was free, but not anymore.
Will Google cut off this type of access too?

This is how GV was originally designed to work and doesn't use XMPP. It was intended to work with a PSTN phone and the callback function, but you can use a SIP provider and a DID. I doubt this will change.
People with a PSTN line can call their GV number, get a prompt and then make a free long distance call. This probably will not change either.

For asterisk/freepbx users the old way
No, Sipsorcery makes no sense to me for $ 69.-. That's 13800 minutes with Localphone. I use far less than that.
