I had it working with both audio and video.
The main problem is that users will have to register to your gatekeeper
to call you.

You can compile pwlib with ESD support and use that network feature but:
- ESD wants the same audio device for recording and playing: impossible
to use the internal mic of a webcam with it
- ESD is not of very good quality when it comes to record and play at
the same time, the audio quality will be bad
- ESD is very CPU intensive when you record and play at the same time
