Actually , it used to work as Anthony wanted it to work. Rtp being
handled totally by freeswitch, while the h323
signalling uses opal. When you have a look at Yate or asterisk h323
channel that uses h323plus, you will see that
its the same h323external_rtp_channel that i used in the "proof of
concept" h323 driver.
(Also , please note that main design is from Lukasz Zwierko.)
As i remember, h323 driver, should set the codec of the channel to
what it receives from h323 side of the call.
(yes, there was no codec negotiation at the time, but i was able to
route calls with gsm from mod_opal to mod_sofia and to FS conference.
with or without being on the media path. ) with some basic profile
support and etc.
With the newest changes on the opal code, it may be possible to use (i
am not sure though) external rtp channel for sip also. Which means
opal can do sip for freeswitch as well.
I believe that both Opal and freeswitch are really nice projects that
can benefit from each other.
Please keep up the nice work.
