[Freeswitch-users] mod_g729

[Jason Garland]

If you want Speex support you need to target the chipset manufacturers:
Here is the Texas Insturments chipset that Polycom uses in the IP650

CPU is TNETV1050/C55x, rev 2 running at 162MHz with memory at 125MHz.

And here are the codecs that Chip supports from TI's datasheet on this chip:

http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/bcg/tnetv1050_prod_bulletin.pdf

Codec Options*
G.711 Codec, G.726, G.729AB, G.723.1A, G.722 wideband codec

Speex is not listed, so Polycom can't do Speex.

I should note that even the non-HD Polycom phones have this same chip and
are capable of doing G.722 some some config tweaking. ;)

I'm willing to bet that Cisco doesn't make their own DSP chips either. Find
out who makes their chips and put pressure on that chip manufacturer to
develop chips with Speex support.
