Ahh, this probably explain my problem. Since I need to be able to start 
in the middle of a stream, this setting is probably the reason that it 
can take minutes before a new participant can see the others. This 
parameter is not very well explained in the documentation, and I had 
overlooked the wiki. That was really usefull. Thank you very much.
