We've had it testing on our server for a while now.  I notice a slight
background/side static in *some* people's mics (identical kind of small
static) that others aren't noticing.  I'm wondering if it might have to do
with my sound being set to 96000 Hz or something, but... I really wouldn't
know.  And of course there's when some people's mic chat turns them into
chipmunks.
