An alternative is mod_sangoma_codec, which supports AMR.<div><br></div><div>This is the module to interface with a transcoding hardware card made by Sangoma, which implements several codecs including licensed ones such as AMR, G729 etc. The license cost is included in the cost of the hardware itself. The transcoding is done on the card itself, offloading that processing from the CPU.</div>



<div><br></div><div>Since mod_amr licenses don&#39;t exist yet, that&#39;s probably your only legal option for AMR transcoding in FreeSWITCH right now.</div><div><br></div><div>With a bit of research you can (quite easily) find the AMR library mod_amr is designed for from the headers Mike mentioned, but you won&#39;t get any help from the community finding, implementing or debugging it due to the legal issues surrounding doing so.</div>



<div><br></div><div>As for testing with mod_amr... testing one codec implementation tells you exactly nothing about a different implementation. If you plan to test transcoding AMR you *need* to test with the implementation you will use in production to get any meaningful results. Which won&#39;t be mod_amr.</div>



<div><br></div><div>Suffice to say transcoding in FreeSWITCH works very well, providing the in/out codecs are supported.</div><div><br></div><div>-Steve</div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 14 January 2013 16:45, Michael Jerris <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:mike@jerris.com" target="_blank">mike@jerris.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

 is there any way to enable mod_amr with transcoding for testing purposes ?<br>
