I just know some Vent servers allow you to change the codec they use, and now with 3.x I was curious if the codec could be changed through the normal vent interface, if it's supported by the Vent server provider.  Maybe the Vent server provider can't change it per account holder?  I dunno how that works.  Maybe the speex codec we'd all be able to use doesn't work as well so we wouldn't want to use it anyway - I dunno.

I've never even tried the in-game chat!  I heard too many bad stories about it.  I run a Vent server on my own computer and if I group with someone we normally connect on my own Vent server.

Informative link, Madox, thanks for finding that.  I don't know what decisions might be made but I'd sure like to be able to better accomodate our Mac users if it's possible without a loss in quality/usability.  (Assuming of course we continue to use Vent.)

All this discussion reminds me it's been a little while since I contributed some funds to the guild, too.
