[AG-TECH] Idea for a feature

[jski at blargh.wpi.edu]

I was noticing that there is a quite a range of volume levels in use by the
various nodes/PIGs etc. What if there existed a service or application,
bound to the test room that would tell you when your volume was set
correctly. It would be sort of like being able to look at the VU meters in
RAT at the remote location. If everyone were able to set their level against
a standard meter then there would be less of a problem of too much or not
enough volume when you got into a meeting. You also would not require a
remote node to test with every time you changed a setting (yes, we still
need the test runs to make sure...) Could be handy for initial settings.

A second idea was for some sort of audio reflector. Some sort of delay, say
10 seconds or so and it sends back whatever you sent to it exactly as it
recieved it. This would be useful for adjusting your settings to prevent
clipping, distortion, gate problems, ambient noise issues, etc. The audio
reflector wouldn't be so good for setting gain levels though since I could
compensate for low transmit levels with high recieve levels and think all
was well until I got into a meeting.... that is where the first application
would save the day.

Just an idea...
