VOICE OPTIONS

1. Voice Quality - High quality uses a 20kbps GSM codec.  This setting on a decent internet connection will achieve telephone quality voice.  9kbps is the next lower setting, this has some minor degradation of vocie quality.  6kbps has even more degradation, and 4kbps sounds like 2 cans on a string underwater.  It is really designed for extremely slow links, or in situations where voice quality is not an issue.
2. Is this an echo room.  This is useful for creating a test/support room.  Anything said by any user will be echoed back.  Note: we recommend setting a talk timer for 5 or 10 seconds if creating an echo room. (see #5)
3.  Select this to disable the FIFO queueing system.  With the queue disabled, the first person to hit CTRL will talk, and then after that person is done the next immediate CTRL key pressed will get to talk.
4. Full duplex.  This gives the ability for more than one person to talk at a time.  Selecting this disables the queue.  Please note, the server does not blend any of the data streams.  We do not recommend using full duplex on any rooms where more than 2 persons are allowed in the room.
5. Talk Time.  By default this is 0, or indefinate.  Enter the maximum number of seconds any user can talk at one time.
6. Disable the voice when there is no moderator in the room.  This prevents users from sitting in rooms and consuming bandwidth when there is no active presentation, or seminar etc.
