[AG-TECH] Transmission feeback

[Robert Olson]

If I understand what is being asked, I believe we are configuring the 
gentner for mix minus one. The gentner has a matrix mixer in it, and the 
signal we send back to the codec (audio capture PC) is the local 
microphones only, not the remote audio. (I'm going from the definition of 
mix minus that I found on http://www.telos-systems.com/techtalk/mixminus.htm).
