Yes, of course. Even in netmeeting it is a bit different from telephone 
because of time the data needs from one computer to the other. As in DSL 
without fastpath it is >~70ms, it needs about at least 150ms, to expect 
earliest response, so sound latencies make things worse, of course (and 
I dunno how bad they are in windows).

Ah, OK. Thanks for clearing this up. :)

So maybe I should try the CVS version then. Sounds much more interesing. 
I will probably hack an ebuild together or something as I don't want to 
mess up my gentoo installation...
Is the workaround for speex with netmeeting inside the CVS version by 
now? That's what interest me most. :)
