Right, I tried recent iaxcomm versions and unfortunately found that it
gives me too much latency. Tweaking PA_MIN_LATENCY_MSEC, while giving some
improvement, didn't result in performance comparable to e.g. gnomemeeting.
Since iaxcli exhibits the same behavior I'm bound to presume that this
latency is due to iaxclient.

On the other hand, I today checked out libiax2 and hacked up miniphone
to work with it. The performance is more than satisfactory, and that's
the main reason I'm considering developing a dedicated linux client,
presumably by just patching up miniphone.

I'll run that diff and possibly try iaxclient's libiax2 branch anyway,
to take advantage of your bug fixes at least.

Thanks a lot, Bruno.
