Please note that the table I had previously published to the original bug is
informative for when "server loopback" works when there is only a *single*
client connected. It doesn't take into account situations when an opus-only
client and an non-opus client are both connected, in which case [audio]
communication always fails for one or more parties, depending on which codec
the server decides all clients must use. [It would be helpful to make a note
of this above or below the table in the summary. Thanks.]

Additionally I think it's best to show respect and use patience. It's a
difficult and complicated problem that we're all trying to help each other
with.

I believe this is correct. Thats 4 options, each of which have their own set
of issues.
Re: summary:
Two lines are duplicated:
[…]
11 + Clients cannot currently report speex version during codec selection
process
[…]
14 + Clients cannot currently report speex version during codec selection
process
Additional items:
"348" package in Wheezy will not build on amd64; zero-ice + gcc 4.7
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=672066#54
"348" mumble-server will not start due to zero-ice ABI breakage
Otherwise it looks good to me.
Thanks a lot, Don.
