It doesn't control the bandwidth during the call. It will just eliminate
the codecs that can not be used because of the lack of bandwidth when
negotiating the call. Just like Netmeeting. (That's why Netmeeting
automatically rejects G.711 for dialup users, they have to lie and tell
they are using DSL to be able to use it or video.)

I'm not sure I understand that paragraph. Do you mean we would have this
structure :
- Some category (Data Exchange)
      | Audio devices
      | Video devices
      | Audio codecs
      | Video codecs
      | Line Settings

?

I have added a "Call Control" category, separate from the devices and
codecs sections. The bandwidth is there. I will also add other options
in the same category related to the control of calls like : auto-redial
on busy, no data timeout, ...
