I guess you guys got it all wrong.
In case of VOIP or skype there's no server/client application.
They are more or less peers.
If you have a close look at the question , the O/P wants data transfer
from one end and play that on other end.
He's not talking about simultaneous send/receive from both ends.
So if you think of this kind of application ,the client always receives
(media) data , not the server.
Eg. A streaming video server.
Songs in Yahoo msgr.
Youtube/Google/Yahoo Video etc.
