First of all, the quotes should go first. I'll show you.

Uh.. Huh?

[ Replaced the quotes manually since you didn't bother to.  Please don't make
me do this again, it's really frustrating, but it's difficult to read

In my post, I make it absolutely clear that audio/video conferencing, meaning
that you can hear the sound as the lips are moving,  can never work with
FreeNX as it is today, because audio and video are handled by two completely
different parts of software that doesn't communicate. Your toaster
doesn't handle
bread differently based on what music you're currently listening to. Computer
programs really doesn't care what you _want_ them to do, only what you _tell_
them to do.

If I'm misinterpreting your email, please correct me. If audio and video doesn't
have to be in sync, then I don't understand the problem at all. Audio works?
You can see images on your screen? What's the problem?
