It'd be nice if there was a way for remote participants who are able to
speak to do so.  We tried ad-hoc VOIP + MP3 feed at IETF67 in the KITTEN
WG, but the round-trip latency was awful -- we need a better solution.

Given such a facility we'll end up with a mutual need by participants in the
room and remote participants to identify each other, which will nicely
solve the problem :)

echo cancellation in a room full of live microphones is problematic.
there's hardware that can help, but what you really need is floor
control in the form of person who controls who can speak via mixing.

managing it is a bit harder than speaker phones and conferencing bridges
(which is hard but has a lot effort behind it).
