well, if you have the stereo mix turned on, yes, JFW will go out when you 
transmit, but simply turning that off will prevent this.
On my windows machine I have that turned off so on echolink or skype, JFW 
doesn't go out on that strream...it can only be heard through the microphone 
if I'm not using headphones.
