Thanks, Josh,<br>
One other question I have: is there any current mechanism for <br>
retaining a channel's TX audio in the RX audio it gets from the bridge?<br>
I see in bridge_softmix that the channel's audio is removed, but at <br>
least here I don't see any logic to keep the audio: <br>

<br>
I thought maybe this was related to the binaural setting, but now I <br>
don't think so since both paths subtract.<br>
Interface wise, this is more about the bridging framework as a whole, <br>
but practically speaking, only bridge_softmix is used as the bridging <br>
technology, so I'm more focused on that.<br>
<br>
If the answer is 'no', I'm assuming a bridging option would need to be <br>
added to not subtract the sender's audio from what it gets back from the <br>
bridge? If this was done, would it be fine if only certain technologies, <br>
e.g. bridge_softmix obeyed this? Or does it have to be universally <br>
implemented?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>There is no current mechanism, because it's counter to how almost everyone expects/needs bridging to work and operate. Hearing yourself never ends well.
