Unfortunately this is what we have at the moment so we'll make the most
out of it and learn from it as well. There are actually some issues
involved but I think the recent MOTU BOF was able to work on it with
ajmitch in NZ and us here in Paris. So the teamspeak thing isn't really
supposed to be used like a "radio broadcast" of sorts as some expect it
to be.

It's on the second day so who knows =)
