Hmmm, on my side I can't say it makes much of a difference for iaxcomm.
It does improve sound quality though, since running iaxcomm non root
produces pretty crackling audio, for whatever reasons. Altogether, I
find that sjphone performs best, regarding quality as well as latency,
where Windows/WM still seems to play in a different league.

Thanks, Bruno.
