I found the AUDIO function in BBB to be somewhat problematic.

   - MUTE function on FS in BBB uses twice CPU per user as non-muted.
   - Uploaded documents do not scale beyond desktop size, making them hard
   to read.
   - AUDIO and VIDEO sync is poor. When Audio is removed, and a normal call
   is in place to take its place, video is MUCH better sync'ed.
   - Usability, for the end user is not nearly as polished.
   - Based on RAM/CPU, this needs to be a standalone server for this one
   process. 5-6% of CPU for muted calls (per user) and up to 100MB per call
   (audio) via browser, due to encode/decode processes, is a bit high.
   - It would be nice to remove AUDIO completely and have a paddle/user
   shown only code they can use when entering conference (lua script) to
   associate audio with user, moving AUDIO controls into FLEX on BBB for
   centralized control. The API would have to be utilized for all user/room
   access controls. This approach might be feasible for other projects...
   - BBB has some things in place to start accessing the camera from a
   DROID, making a handheld cam in the field able to transmit into a meeting.


At the same time, Openmeeting looks to have the desktop scaling and other
items associated solved, and can record the sessions, whereas BBB cannot as
of yet. OM also has the ability to join "just" audio or video. The user
tools are more plentiful. OM would need some changes (not use port 5080 to
connect), I have an OM system up, but am building a downloadable VM based on
Centos 5.5 for further testing. I already have a BBB VM running (they
readily supply one). I have to dig into it and see what to do to get the
system to respond on a different port.
