The Meetecho server is a lousy choice. I tried using it this IETF, and it demanded all kinds of authentication information I didn't have handy.
Meetecho is a tool for *participating* remotely at IETF meetings. It allows you to actively contribute to the standardization process. As such, it requires you to be registered to the IETF meeting (either as on-site or remote participant) because you need to be identifiable and accept the "Note Well" (which you do during the registration process).
All authentication information you need is your name and your Registration ID, which is also printed on your badge if you're a local participant. There's also a clear way to retrieve it through the registration system.
Plus it consumes bandwidth even if you don't need the AV feed.
Video feeds can be disabled from within the Meetecho UI. Audio can't. Anyway I do agree that using Meetecho only as a Jabber client is far from ideal and overkill. There are XMPP clients for that.
