Dear Pavel,
many thanks for your fast answer. I am not so interested in the latest
version as I am in solving 2 problems I have with the current one:1)	
Getting rid of the audio echo on my Webcam for my Windows Client. My
correspondants all complain that they hear themselves and I have no
Idea how to solve the issue. The Microsoft Lifecam is well found and it
works but with echo.2)	Getting more video ram into virt-manager. Now I
cannot use my DQHD resolution for my Windows client because I cannot
exceed the 64MB video memory.I am really sorry for the questions but do
you have an idea where I could address those issues?
many thanks again for your time.
kind regards,
