Token ring in voice is simply nonsense. What if one of the users has a
slow machine? Every machine would have to 1) decode incoming data, 2)
mix his own data 3) encode again. 

If we have 10 machines, and each machine takes 2ms to encode 10 ms of
data, encoding 10 ms through the ten machines would take 20 ms (without
packet travel time) for a frame to arrive at the first machine.
nonsense.
