The problem is we need lower level access to the OPAL than that effort provided.  It uses OPAL as the media engine and even if it's completed, the way it's designed all calls will appear as decoded signed linear audio and there will be no way to do signal bridging with point to point rtp and use FS codecs etc.

The new module will use a C front end to OPAL developed by the author just for the way we need to use it.  So unless you can achieve what I am describing from the existing mod_opal the route i described is the way to go.

So, in other words there is no use for us to try and build on the
current mod_opal from Tuyan?

We just thought that since a good part of the work is already done in
Tuyan's mod_opal, H323 support would be available sooner than building
it from scratch, right?
