Seriously though, wouldn't it be better to have the bandwidth control

web
browser, file sizes in a file manager, etc.), so I would guess that your
average John Doe would be happier with defining settings in kilobytes. I
for one have never quite made a difference between bits and bytes, well,
up until now. :)
I don't think I've ever used an application that uses byte rates for
codecs,
so linphone being the only one would be mighty confusing! 3G, Cable and
ADSL
speeds are all advertised as bit rates too, at least here in the UK.
I see, it makes sense. But it's still probably a point worth faq-ing along
with the video quality info [1]. It's after having read the video entry in
the FAQ that I incorrectly set up the bandwidth limits.
What do you think?
