Hmm.  The self-test that I ran (several times in testing from
different locations and machines) had me record some material
and then played it back (IIR, video and all).  Some aspects of
it (for those who haven't encountered it, it is a multiple step
test) might be more clear about what is going on, but it is not
clear to me how that differs from the Skype test.  If, by
"absence of room sound", you mean that sounds is not being
transmitted from the meeting room, I can't think how to test
that other than in a live situation except by playing something
back, such as, perhaps, the sound that goes with the picture of
Scott Bradner.
