Matt, If you are in a hurry, NEC has a thin client product that does a great job of dealing with video and audio. In a couple of months you should be able to use it with your VoIP Cisco server to act as your desk phone too. http://www.necam.com/vpcc/US100.cfm
The only reason I haven't switched to it is because they do not support a full Linux desktop like SRSS does. Plus, I know Sun (at least at one time) had a couple of positions available for a coders to develop a codec on the SunRay client device. So, it may be right around the corner! :) The NEC supports flash, windows media and mpeg4 but anything else will come across just as bad as you see it now on the SunRay.
