There was a discussion about having the audio passed through * be at a
higher rate than 8k, thinking behind it was that the 8K limit is imposed
by the PSTN and VoIP does not exibit that inherent limitation. I do not
know of any endpoints that support a higher rate (>8k), it would be nice
to be able to use a High-Quality MeetMe room for a podcast-type live
discussion.

Will the incorporation of Video into a MeetMe room change this at all??
