[Freeswitch-users] AWS - Audio Delay - rtp timer

[Jurijs Ivolga]

Hi,

I got similar problems. For me solution was to enable jitter buffer,
something like this:

....
<action application="set" data="rtp_jitter_buffer_during_bridge=true"/>
<action application="set" data="jitterbuffer_msec=60:200:20"/>
<action application="export" data="nolocal:jitterbuffer_msec=60:200:20"/>
<action application="export"
data="nolocal:rtp_jitter_buffer_during_bridge=true"/>
<action application="bridge" data="some_bridge_data" />
....

In this case I didn't get delay when I set "<param name="rtp-timer-name"
value="soft"/>" in sip profile.
