<div></div>Hi Stefan,<br><br>I have seen those, thanks. That's actually the
reason why I asked: because I have already seen it work with the <device>
element and I wondered what the remaining challenges were. It seems there is
lots of discussion about protocols and

much as possible) "why is real-time communications on the internet hard?"

grappling with) from "what is interesting/challenging about real-time
