[Ekiga-list] Wishlist?...

2007-01-24 Thread A. James Lewis

There's 2 things that I really wish ekiga could do... so I wonder if the
beta's have any nice new features you guys can tell me about... or if
not, here's a couple of suggestions...

1, It seems like it'd be really nice to have a conference facility,
where you could recieve multiple calls and conference them together, or
conversely, make multiple calls and like them together... 
If it was really clever you could leave a conference without closing it,
and/or make/recieve another call and then rejoin a running conference.

2, Much simpler, seemingly...   It'd be REALLY nice to have a way to
quickly switch audio devices, preferably independently for input and
output... mabe have configuratble profiles?... this would be so that you
could switch between speaker and headset while in call... or keep the
headset on, and just allow somone else to listen in,... whichever...

Given the current upstream of most people, I do not consider this as
viable with Open Source codecs. Most people do not have enough bandwidth
to upload audio and video to several participants.

is a server-side thing, not a client thing.

That's planned, but is not high priority in the TODO list...

audio-only could be an option yes.

Upgrade the 2.1 snapshot, we won't release 2.2 or 3.00 before a few
months.
