Re: Proposed Aim for Speak Freely

yes , optionally. 
big drawback of SF is that you can't change quality/codec 'on the fly'

i.e. over LAN where 10Mbit is a norm, and 10% is usually used bandwitch isn't problem...


since few months i am thinging about integration of Xvnc with speak freely. but this would require high quality codeds in SF.

Xvnc is remote desktop app, it would be great if it could transmit sound also. 

i know there is NAS and ARTS/ESD but those servers do not support compression+encryption.
