The URIs for IETF rooms are also dynamically created right before
the session starts, and get announced on the official IETF jabber
room as soon as people start to log in. They simply disappear when
the session is over.

It would be preferable when the URIs were made to be known sufficiently
in advance that they *can* be listed/made part of the offical tools-style
IETF meeting agenda and the audio stream information page!

In the last IETF (Quebec), there was the prerequisite to either run the
Java plugin or run an XMPP client and join the correct plenary chat
*AND* sufficiently early as a prerequisite to find out that there exist URLs
that provide an audiostream for use without XMPP client and without
a Java applet.  That is a hen-and-egg problem that could be
avoided by some planning ahead.

The lack of a traditional http audio stream for the plenary was (as
noted at time) an omission on the part of the contractor programing the
streaming boxes, it wasn't intentional and it will not be repeated.

I also found it quite disappointing that the "official" 7 audiostreams
continued to stream in HiFi background noise and after-session talks of folks
still standing near the microphone, while the plenary audio was only
transmitted through meetecho with only phone-quality.
