3.: Potential bug: As suggested by Moises, adding extra logging in libteletone_detect.c shows that digits were detected, but the ZAP_EVENT_DTMF events were *not* sent back for an analog channel (I am using an Openvox A800p, but it looks to be the same for all analog cards).
you mean libteletone detects it but ZAP_EVENT_DTMF is not launched? the next test should be in zap_channel_read, which uses teletone_dtmf_detect and teletone_dtmf_get to retrieve DTMF and queue the DTMF, there you will be able to find out what is going on.
On doing more testing, I have to retract that statement. I can confirm that the EVENT_DTMF is always correctly returned when using software detection, but not when using hardware DTMF detection (regardless of PRI or analog).
4.: Potential bug: DTMF digit detection *eats some audio* each time a digit is detected. If the device is connected directly to free switch this is not a problem. If a device makes a call through freeswitch (to let's say phone banking) a digit that is held down may be detected as 3 digits (sometimes more) due to the consumed audio. This can be heard on the other side of freeswitch as a start-stop at the start of the DTMF.
Indeed ZAP_CHANNEL_SUPRESS_DTMF causes zap_channel_read to memset the read data each time a digit hit is found. The problem is that there is no DTMF_START and DTMF_END events and the DTMF length is lost, we just have a plain DTMF event for the start. Not sure about how to use libteletone to detect the DTMF end though.
DTMF suppression is mangling the digits. It took me a while to get to the bottom of this, but it turns out to be very easy to reproduce. Take Freeswitch with an FXS port and a handset. Dial 1000 on the handset and answer the call on a SIP client. Now hold down a digit. You will notice that the digit has a wobble at the start. This is the symptom. Commenting out the DTMF suppression code, changes the behaviour but does not fix the problem. This is what baffled me for a while. I wrote some trivial code that bridges two analog channels by doing a zap_channel_read/write() from one to the other. Commenting out the memset() on line 2042 of zap_io.c produced perfect digits while uncommenting it produced the wobble. The obvious conclusion was that the dodgy digit suppression is being attempted somewhere else (like the SIP side?) and thus the wobble is being introduced at more than one place. This also explains why I (non scientifically) noticed that the more times the call passed through Freeswitch the more incorrectly recognised digits were reported at the final point. I imagine that a solution might be to just turn off DTMF digit suppression by default until it is fixed. Cheers, -alex
Anthony, Mike? care to comment about this one?
