I'm not sure I understand. Video and audio is not synchronized, so watching
a video file with speech, will not work well. Audio by itself, though, should
work nicely, and since this thread deals with VoIP, I think synchronization
issues with audio/video is irrelevant. Why would the audio source have any
impact on the quality, whether it's "recorded" or streamed? You also talk
about tcp-based secure connections in regard to realtime a/v. I strongly
believe that the encryption is irrelevant unless you're on a _very_
slow client.
The realtime issue is irrelevant. FreeNX does not sync audio and video in
any case; encrypted or not.
