Ever since ASM RTCP receiver reports withered and died, no one really knows.
I am not really sure why this happened. Many people think that having 
each member of a large group send to every other member is not a good thing,
but I do not think that it was caused by complaints.

My experiments indicate that I do not get RR's for more than a tiny
fraction (<< 1/10th) of the audience, but what that fraction is
is unknown. Most times all I really know is whether or not 
I have outbound state.
