[arm-allstar] Sound devices supported by V 1.5

[David McGough]

Hi Michael,

The SIP protocol supports RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) multicast for
some applications where you have a large number of SIP phones on a
-single- LAN. An example where this is useful is a scenario where you need
to perform a one-to-many paging operation---e.g.: One SIP user sends a
general announcement which goes to all the speakerphone speakers on all
other extensions. Another possible application might be where numerous
local (on the same local LAN segment) SIP users wish to participate in a
conference call.

Again, all the above comments are in regard to the SIP protocol. AllStar 
uses the IAX2 protocol for data transfer between nodes and IAX2 doesn't 
support multicast packets methods (as far as I know??).

How are you thinking multicast would be a useful addition?
