By not "in sync" do you mean that there is a delay between when the 
speaker speaks and when the client hears it?

There's always going to be some amount of delay. It takes time to encode 
the audio, send it, mix it (in this case), receive it, decode it, and 
have it pass through a jitterbuffer (which by definition of being a 
buffer introduces delay).

How much of a delay are you hearing?
