Agreed.

I don't understand why you think this.  OTR has a sense of key exchange
and management, and then a way to encrypt/mac each message in an series
of (A->B B->A)* exchanges.  How does the fact that a message might be
bits (from a microphone, compressed through a codec) instead of a bunch
of text really change the nature of what's going on?
