[Freeswitch-users] FreeTDM and DAHDI+OSLEC/MG2 anyone?

Mon Jun 28 17:19:37 PDT 2010

Hi Moises,

I basically arrived at the same conclusion about echo training ioctl and I
commented out the ECHOTRAIN ioctl in FreeTDM. FreeSwitch does indeed pass
audio if the ECHOTRAIN ioctl does NOT get called..

Cheers,
-Slim

That is what echo_train_level in zt.conf is used for. I wonder if we should
not be calling the echo train ioctl when is 0, may be the sole fact of
calling the echo train ioctl is screwing things up.

Try going to src/ftmod/ftmod_zt/ftmod_zt.c around line 642 and comment the

if (ioctl(ftdmchan->sockfd, codes.ECHOTRAIN, &len)) {
}

the whole if block should be commented, you can use #if 0 #endif, or regular
C comments.

I took a look at the dahdi drivers and it seems even when this setting is 0,
then set the state to ECHO_MODE_PRETRAINING, and that can be what OSLEC does
not like at all.

Hi Moises,

Thank you. This is very helpful as it seems to detail the same problem. I
tested with both OpenZap and FreeTDM yielding the same results.

I think Anthony Minnessale is close when he writes:

"Maybe there are some new ioctls or something
 they added for interop with OSLEC that we don't
 know about."

Except that whatever changed in (the) DAHDI (API) seems to have broken all
echo canceling (MG2 and OSLEC) somewhere between DAHDI and FreeTDM/OpenZap.

Anthony also suggests:

"If you still have the problem the next step
 would be to add some debugging code to the
 ozmod_zt read and write functions to see if
 it's sending data up to the app."

I'm going to see if my C-fu is up to doing that. Anybody know where the
debugging code should go for FreeTDM?

Lastly, the only semi-relevant Google find I did was this [1]:

"Make sure echotraining is disabled when using
 Oslec - this is not supported and if enabled
 will cause the channel to be silent (i.e. no
 audio will pass through)"

In FreeTDM/OpenZap/FreeSwitch there doesn't seem to be an "echo training"
knob to twiddle.

Cheers,
-Slim

Hi everybody,

I have a feeling I must be missing the obvious...

I've been trying to get echo canceling to work with Freeswitch/FreeTDM/DAHDI
but I have been failing miserably for days. When I enable echo cancellation
(MG2 or OSLEC) on a DAHDI/FreeTDM channel (FXS or FXO) that channel goes
silent.

In absence of better suggestions I was hoping to replicate someone's "known
working" configuration. Is anyone successfully running the following
combination:

- any x86 hardware
- any recent flavor Linux
- any recent version of DAHDI using FXO ports
- FreeSwitch/FreeTDM trunk from git
- OSLEC echo canceller (or MG2)
- (BONUS:) Xorcom Astribank with FXO/FXS ports.

I addition to much Googling I've tried most permutations of:
- CentOS 5.4, 5.5, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Elastix
- x86 and x64 single and multicore CPUs.
- Non-PAE kernels for 32-bit installs.
- DADHI from SVN (or -in case of Elastix- the built-in 2.2.0.2)
- MG2 and OSLEC echo cancellers
- Freeswitch from Git trunk

In each case everything configures fine to the point that Asterisk 1.6 will
function with echo cancellation enabled. So we know that DAHDI layer works.
But Freeswitch channels go silent when echo cancellation is enabled.

Puzzled,
-Slim
