You can turn off audio on Meetecho and use the regular audio stream,
but the audio will be delayed.
As a chair, I find it very useful to use the recorded session to
double check my notes or sometimes clarify notes by the notetakers.
It's also extremely important to consider that these guys are
providing the service at no cost to IETF. I can't fathom what the
cost would be if IETF were paying for something that might meet your
quality standards.
Too clarify something. The various experimental and ongoing volunteer
efforts and well as contractor provided services has non-trivial trivial
support costs even when they are delivered by volunteers paying their
own way. We can and should (and do) evaluate how we can do better,
whether they're appropiate or not and what else we should be doing.

OMG, was the audio recovered from air bubbling up from a submarine
or what happened?
Oh, and maybe somebody can explain the value of the audio spectrum
above 4 kHz to the meetecho guys.
With this audio quality, this is very close to useless (except
maybe for historians digging it up 5000 years in the future and
painstakingly reconstructing what was maybe said).
