Well - we're making some noise about supporting video on our ITSP
service, so I'm interested in video in IAX.  So I will have a look at
that too.

Interestingly I know that video *used* to work with IAX because I
remember showing it off with someone long ago.  Probably back when the
codec stuff was done just with the FORMAT IE rather than the prefs.
