Hi Volker, the Mumble development could be useful if it leads to this 
becoming something that can work on all platforms and be a solution 
for voice in OpenSim that is well sported by the whole 
community.  Mumble does look like it can support much of what might 
be needed for such an environment similar the commercial Viovox solutions.

FreeSWITCH works without any changes to the SL Voice.exe module in 
the LL viewers or third party viewers, I assume by emulating some 
layer that the viewer uses to use the Vivox services?  Is that the 
case?  It would be good if we do not have to require users to install 
anything at all on the client end to use Opensim with its voice services.

When you are ready, we would be happy to help test things on your 
rid, or try the instructions for setup on a test grid in our Openvue 
environment (which currently has FreeSWITCH voice running across 
multiple servers and multiple regions fine. We think voice is an 
essential element.
