[svctest] SVC test Call

[Sverre Wendelbo]

Hi Jan,

Here are remarks out of your questions.

SP3 is OK. We haven't seen any issue with it so far.
FireWire cameras are not supported. We recommend USB2 cameras which
happen to bee cheaper and better suited for the application (VGA).

USB headsets/devices seem to offer better performances due to the fact
that they are not addressed by the OS in the ways PCI soundcards are.
The priority is higher and memory allocation seems to be better
optimized for USB than it is for PCI. Using PCI soundcard may result in
stuttering audio, jitter and other mishaps when in a multiparty
conference.

There we go,

Cheers,

Sverre

I ask during the TNC but for others - graber cards (firewire cameras)
are not supported 
(and will not be)

May I know why? Is it a general experince (i'm also usually getting
better results with 
USB) or some specific issues?
