One of the toughest issues in conferencing software is the audio component. I have tested many different software packages from open source to very expensive commercial products and none offer the ability to video conference AND communicate effectively in terms of audio/voice as well. Issues like ear piercing feedback, bandwidth deficiency, latency and the massive disparity of hardware and configurations in use make reliable conversation in the teleconference seemingly impossible.
So, I started to look into SIP. I know OM has a hood to point to a SIP server but as far as I know, there is no actual mechanism to use SIP in an OM conference. Is that correct? I found Bigbluebutton, and I love the voice bridge feature. It has hold music and everything! Is it possible to integrate SIP functionality like Bigbluebutton has? Does SIP make it possible for conference attendees to talk and listen more efficiently with the issues I mentioned above? Sebastian, I know you are involved with BBB. Your work on both projects is amazing, thank you very much for your hard work and generosity to the web conferencing community.
