I know the actual bandwidth is not 5Mb/s, but as mentioned, the video
quality significantly improved when I bumped the max bandwidth from 8KB/s to
16KB/s and then 32KB/s, so it seems that I do get more than 16KB/s (aka
128Kb/s) of actual bandwidth between the two machines.  That should be
plenty for the 64Kb/s of PCMA (even after eating up 8KB/s for video), right?
Unless the video and the audio payload follow different routes?
