Doing VAD on audio coming _from_ the TDM world certainly is something 
you might want to do, to dramatically reduce the bandwidth you consume 
when sending the audio via VoIP channels.

This kind of thing is not presently implemented in *, though, but it 
could be. (note: doing it well will require a bunch of CPU, though. I 
wonder if it could be done in the same DSP that is doing 
echo-cancellation on the new TE4xxP boards?
