I am not sure if i have followed the entire conversation thread here, so
apologize in advance if this doesn't make sense.

I get the sense that you want todo a point-to-point or multicast session
instantiated via Mosaic. Well, i did something a while ago that supports
point-to-point audio/video sessions using some of the Mbone tools instantiated
via application/x-mmphone.

You may take a peek at Mmphone at
http://www.eit.com/software/mmphone/phoneform.html

To use it, you will need to ftp://ftp.eit.com/pub/share/wwwphone.pl
and add an entry to your .mailcap that looks like
application/x-mmphone; wwwphone.pl %s

And this could easily be upgraded to support multicast sessions as well, just
haven't had the time.
