Yes I could.

The only problem is technical. 

Technically speaking: 
- the Echo Test application should accept audio and video using a wide
range of codecs
- the conference application should only accept PCMA/PCMU audio, to
spare ressources on the machine, and also because
encoding/decoding/mixing from various codecs will lower the quality
- the voicemail application should only support audio
- ...

However, we are using Asterisk, and Asterisk allows setting codecs only
for the SIP channel and not application by application, which is the
problem.

If I allow more codecs, I break the conference application.

We should probably modify Asterisk's source code.
