If Discord is basically proxying the raw packets from one client to the others, isn't that wasted bandwidth (for discord, not the clients). I understand from the post that the goal would be to mask the ip of the users, to shoulder user privacy and the ddos vector. Kudos on silence detection to save overhead.
So video w/audio broadcasting has to be compressed client side, then proxied through Discord's media servers, to the end user's. That's pretty smart...I just wished that I could send my raw stream to a LAN host so I could offload the compression, and allow my LAN host to provide delivery (I'm a nitro user).
