[Opensim-users] Vivox module question - enable echo back?

Thu Feb 14 09:09:40 UTC 2013

@Nebadon - I have but they stated that they don't provide support for 
OpenSim and suggested that I ask on the list.
@InuYasha - After hearing back from the Vivox support rep I didn't get 
the impression that this was a high level (paid) feature.  Its likely 
just a configurations witch somewhere along the line.
@Justin and Toni - I'll have to do some digging around to see if I can 
find an API reference for Vivox.  If its available I'll gladly do some 
poking around in the module to see if I can add in a configuration flag.

Thanks :)
