[Ekiga-list] sound quality for echo test

[Thufir <hawat thufir gmail com>]

I'd like to switch from skype to ekiga, however there are some 
performance issues.  With "skype out," for outbound calls, the sound 
quality is fine, however when I run the echo test with ekiga the voice is 
quite broken up.  (Also, ekiga seems to pin the cpu and I never hear back 
from the echo test, although I expect those are separate issues from 
sound quality.)

Is the better sound quality from skype due to compression, or a 
proprietary protocol?  Not that skype is perfect, but the sound quality 
is acceptable.
