[Serusers] Xten-RTPProxy choppy audio

[Jiri Kuthan]

I might have actually observed sound quality distorsions with Windows 
Messenger too when used along with rtpproxy. I don't know whose guilt 
the distorsions are (could it be somehow related to lack of RTCP?) and 
quite likely it is other issue than Klaus discovered (Klaus, thank you!). 
Excuse my vagueness -- I would love to verify it,  but my ISP screws me 
now and I'm forcibly off-line.

I will let you know more as soon as I am online.

ps -- What is the license for the new media proxy?
