Quick question about jit.catch~/release~

Quick question about jit.catch~/release~ - should I expect to hear a lot of ring modulation (or something very like it) from the included Jitter Tutorial 48. I hear a lot of ring mod on the speech file and sinewave and when I try it myself I get it as well.

Below is the help file for Jitter Tutorial 52 using jit.catch~/release~ and jit.net.send and receive and I hear a lot of modulation or distortion. It does not say in the documentation that I should expect distortion on audio signals. I get this distortion even if I just jit.catch~ and release~ on their own. Is this a bug, a fault in the documentation or expected behaviour.

If this doesn't work - how do you send audio across networks with Max. For example something like video chat.
