It will appear in a release in the future, but did not make the cut for
the first release. Part of the reason for that is that Skype themselves
have just begun switching to a new wideband codec, and it did not make
sense to incorporate support for the old one in a brand new product...
but the new one is not ready for use yet either. We'll get there :-)
