  bar)

- only the sound card frame sizes 128, 256 and 512 are allowed (since other
  frame sizes require additional conversion buffers which introduce delay)

- IMA-ADPCM, MS-ADPCM removed

  parameters to use depending on the upload limit and the number of connected
  clients)


2.1.4 (2009-02-15)

- added automatic jitter buffer size setting

- speed optimizations to improve audio interface stability

- added total delay display


2.1.2 (2008-08-15)

  server according to the setting in the client (they are coupled now)
