I can see two advantages here: mumble has in theory better sound 
quality(through the celt codec) with less bandwidth, and replacing Vivox' 
implementation with an open-source one, would make it possible to distribute 
it by default with the ll-based viewers. I just wonder whether it will be 
crossplatform, and whether it makes sense to keep a bsd-license when the ll-
viewer is gpl'ed.

kind regards,
