According to return value of sangoma_get_rx_queue_sz() the default rx queue size is 10.
That is correct. And you can change that in the FreeTDM wanpipe.conf configuration to set a different default or by using FTDM_COMMAND_SET_RX/TX_QUEUE_SIZE
How can an application do this reading of a channel by the means of the freetdm api in more nice way? I did not find a better way yet, than to read it in the loop. Any way to explicitly read the number of available frames?
I just committed new code to allow access to the internal iostats structure (which contains the size of the queue and number of elements on it). See src/include/freetdm.h ftdm_channel_iostats_t, bear in mind you must enable the feature using FTDM_COMMAND_SWITCH_IOSTATS, then you can retrieve the stats with FTDM_COMMAND_GET_IOSTATS. I added an example of usage in mod_freetdm/mod_freetdm.c Do "git pull" to get it.
Actually, why the ftdm_channel_read() does not read them ALL at once and sets the number of read bytes via *datalen output parameter? (assuming provided *data buffer is large enough) In my tests, always 160 bytes were returned in one particular read.
Did you verify this by providing bigger buffer and datalen? The reason is that you typically want to handle voice as soon as is available, otherwise you add delay in your audio path, therefore you never leave your voice to accumulate in the driver's buffer's. FreeSWITCH and all other users of the FreeTDM API work this way. In the future you might want consider asking this questions in the freeswitch-dev mailing list to have better chances of a prompt response (as long as the question involves C development with FreeSWITCH/FreeTDM internal APIs).
