It'd be nice if there was a way for remote participants who are able to speak to do so. We tried ad-hoc VOIP + MP3 feed at IETF67 in the KITTEN WG, but the round-trip latency was awful -- we need a better solution.
It's worth noting that in that particular experiment, the round trip time was dominated by the latency of the multicast audio feed which we were using for one half of the link. If we were to try this again, we'd use the VOIP link for both directions to the remote speaker, to avoid annoying latency issues.
Given such a facility we'll end up with a mutual need by participants in the room and remote participants to identify each other, which will nicely solve the problem :)
