Subject: RE: Help: I thought HEARME was going away??
UJ, PalTalk may be fussy over configurations but thegeneral feeling is thatwhen everythingis setup correctly, PalTalk provides better sound quality than hearme did.

I am still not sure what to think about the Full-Duplex idea but I am skeptical. It may allow "hands free talk" (as PalTalk does on a one to one) but our main use for this would be to allow 2 or more people in different locations to sing together and I do not believe that communication speeds are anywhere near quick enough to allow for this and I also feel that even if they are, the slightest bit of network congestion would throw everything out of sync.

I would love to see the day when we can have real time sessions of that nature but I fear that we are still along way off (assuming it will be possible -what would an acceptable time delay be between participants - how many milliseconds?)
