Could not agree more. This is exactly what I was to suggest - simple in
end-user implementation, consistent and uniform. A good start for
robustness
and reliability.

Im still not convinced this is really needed for P2P mode, it means much
higher requirements for the server role client, and im not sure we should be
requireing the extra complexity of having to combine the two streams into
one, what if both clients where pocket pc's ?

There is no such requirment. The only difference is in handeling the XML. Rather than doing this P2P style (with no client taking the role of server) on of the clients will have to play "server". But ofcourse the only thing it will "serve" is it's own audiostream, and the only client it will serve is the other "peer". However, supporting this will mean that with the same spec and implementation you can also participate in conferences! Wether those are hosted on a component or on another users machine who has a more advanced client that supports mixing.


Again, the only difference is in handeling the XML. Wich I think would only be a bit different, not quite harder to do or more complex.
