It's a nice effort Daniel, but i suspect this will go the same way as

skype linux 64bit, and that is fade into the sunset, or meet with

"corporate silence", so to speak.
I've had a decent run with mumble, and use it regularly with jack, but

that's with the alsa-jack plugin, and a .asoundrc setup to use that

plugin.
I've just read the comments from the devs, and i think you're battling

uphill with this one, particularly as slicer seems to be quite happy

with pulseaudio as his Linux default (and this sounds just like

skype's justification for not adding a 64bit option, imho). I think

he's missed the point about JACK, but he's the dev, and will decide

what he wants to do, even if others think he may be missing a valuable

opportunity.
Good luck with this, and i hope you're ultimately successful.

Podcasting isn't going away, and the easier Slicer and his other team

members make the use of mumble, the better the quality of podcast, and

the easier and quicker process of production, for a wider range of

users, both amateur and professional. If he's so inclined, perhaps you

might mention the inevitable increase in street cred he and the mumble

team will get in the podcast and wider community. (If this is

desirable for him, of course)
Imho, mumble could wipe the floor with skype (it does here already for

the sound quality), but it does need jack support as a valuable added

option to expand mumble's reach further.
Regards,
Alex.
