Not a complete bust:

We had 6 webcams on at once.
video quite acceptable
as moderator, others could hear me initially.
no audio conferencing
screen sharing seemed OK
my computer bogged down quickly
Some couldn't log on with Safari
Some couldn't log on anyhow/anyway

As it handled the 6 camera streaming, the audio should be no problem.
The application is too new to have online support forums.
the host computer may be important-suggest another trial with faster host computer
It uses Flash and some members may not be equipped for this.

The way it should work:

One moderator/referee
One presenter at a time
Only presenter uses webcam to limit bandwidth
There is an icon to put your hand up and be recognized
presenter can upload documents or share their screen
cursor becomes a marker/highliter

I think it's worth another trial.
