Hello people,

Can someone please clear the following ambiguities with codecs:

  1. Are we definitively able to run pass-through codecs (e.g. G.729) in Proxy Media mode, or does FS need to be running in bypass-media ? the Wiki is not clear in this regard
  2. When an A-leg has negotiated a pass-through media codec, can the B-leg be transcoded into a non-pass-through codec, and vice-versa ? think A-leg incoming with a G.729 codec, and target for B-leg needs to be setup with a GSM-codec, say
  3. Where in the developer's set of documentation are codecs discussed ? I would like to start porting some code of mine for G.729a/b/ab form a ti DSP platform to FS. FS lacking full G.729 support is proving quite a hindrance, and there is no clear direction from the dev community as to when the same will be available. Incidentally, any news on this effort ? where are we with code, and what's an ETA for a Beta ?
  4. On the same lines as (3) above, there is a codec dev template in the source tree. Again, where can I find documentation relating to this ? the template has hardly any docs at all.
Best regards and warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and a great New Year to one and all.

Ahmed.
