01:29.12scudthank you for that correction
01:29.52twistedno problem
01:30.09florzAs quite a few of you seem to have become alive only recently: Is there any way one can make * setup a call (across protocol boundaries, if that makes a difference, SIP and IAX2 in this case) such that no recoding of the signal is necessary - and only fall back to recoding if it cannot be avoided?
01:31.52mishehuI do not believe so, as sip handles the voice stream differently.

01:32.01carbon60Evening all.
01:32.10carbon60Anyone switched their VPC config yet?
01:32.21mishehuflorz: you probably just want to use the same codec for both channels.
01:32.32mishehucarbon60: vpc?
01:32.43carbon60VoicePulse Connect!
01:32.45mishehuah
01:32.58twistedcarbon60, yes.
01:33.02carbon60They sent out an email with some new configs.
01:33.39mishehuI don't use voicepulse...  so donno
01:34.06carbon60twisted: I noticed the config they suggest has only a type=user. I need two type=peer entries as well, right?
01:34.32*** part/#asterisk Kumbang (~kumbang@167.205.22.54)
01:34.32twistedcarbon60, read the email. it's for ORIGINATION ONLY
01:34.42OloBolaare softphones and headsets generally a bad idea? I'm getting echoes and poor sound quality outgoing, excellent incoming
01:35.14carbon60twisted: Yeah, but I'm cleaning up my config at the same time.
01:36.19florzmishehu: Yep, I want to use the same codec on both channels, of course, but not the same for every call. Think of a SIP client connected to *, with * being configured so it can connect to iaxtel and to several other *s in order to reach their clients. iaxtel allows GSM only, however for the other connections I'd like to use ILBC.
01:37.01carbon60Either way, Asterisk is denying the connection.
01:38.15mishehuI wonder if the reason there is no ogg-on-hold support is licensing...
01:38.56carbon60twisted: Everything worked as advertised for you?
01:39.11twistedafter the sent the second email,yea.
01:39.14scudi'm not sophisticated :(   but seriously though about the cat thing, its just something i've noticed after the years that I thought was one weird oddity
01:39.22florzmishehu: As (1) the client knows both GSM and ILBC and (2) the machine running asterisk is too slow to do ILBC in realtime, recoding would be better avoided ...
01:39.44ivlokOloBola: I've used w/out problems
01:40.02pfnhmm, how do you concat \0 to a unicode string....
01:40.21carbon60Grumble.
01:40.24pfnnevermind
01:40.34mishehuflorz: most of these codecs deal with such small bitrates to begin with (i.e. g711ulaw is ~8kbyte/sec), it's almost hard to imagine that there's machines in use that can't handle the transcoding for them.
01:41.44florzmishehu: Yep, that probably is the problem. Higher bitrates wouldn't be a problem as they require less CPU power - after all, it's a lack of CPU power, not of I/O capability
01:42.48florzmishehu: To be exact, it's a Cyrix 686, 133 MHz
01:43.09mishehuflorz: how many active channels do you have going thru it at any given time?
01:43.23florzmishehu: 1 (One that is :-)
01:43.26mishehudon't you mean a cyrix 586 133?
01:43.45florzmishehu: /proc/cpuinfo says: model name      : 6x86 2x Core/Bus Clock
01:43.54mishehuflorz: I don't see how a 133 mhz (even a cyrix) can't handle transcoding 2 separate channels...

01:46.45mishehuflorz: it must be the ilbc that's doing it.  why you so set on using ilbc?
01:46.50mishehuany reason in particular?
01:47.21sizbandood ... my dial timeout is so borked ... it works from calls originated from my normal phone but not from calls originated from my cell phone ... any ideas/!
01:47.21mishehubtw, does anybody know if the most recent cisco 7960 firmware has a simple toggle button for DND ?
01:47.24florzmishehu: 56 kbps modem connection, and I'd like to have a little free bandwidth :-)
01:47.31mishehuflorz: ouch!
01:48.24florzmishehu: And, yep, G711 <-> GSM is no problem - dunno how much CPU load it causes, but there was no jitter at least ...
01:50.06carbon60florz: Wow, and that works?
01:50.19florzcarbon60: You mean ILBC over 56 kbps modem?
01:50.39carbon60Yeah, I'm amazed you can get it working at all.
01:51.07florzYep, works fine - needs only ~ 25 kbps per direction

01:53.07elleryi have never had this happen but i have a problem with downstream voice upstream is clear and no pops but downstream drops about 80% of the voice
01:54.06florzof course, it's not toll quality and you easily get jitter when there is other traffic on the connection, but otherwise you can talk without problems
01:55.19ellerynot between the two boxes if i link to the main box with sip its a little better. but iax its just not usable.
