Can you elaborate on your reasoning here? I don't see why theora 
wouldn't work well for conferencing. There are no B frames, and
the current encoder does a reasonable job with no look-ahead. To
get less than a frame of latency requires both a encoder modifications
and specially-matched camera hardware, but that's true of most 
compressed digital standards, and I didn't think people cared that much.
