Thats all well and good but you dont want to make audio conferencing completely dependant on MUC otherwise you will have to create a second protocol for doing audio conferencing outside of MUC, now that really is creating complexity and duplication. Its far better to have a standard audio conferencing framework that is not dependant on MUC or anything else like that which you can then initiate from MUC, that avoids having a functional dependancy on MUC (a very bad thing IMO) and also avoids unnecessary duplication of protocols/code.
