[Freeswitch-users] Speex transcoding question

OK - sorry to make such a meal of this.

I am still encountering a problem getting my configuration right, having
followed the advice I received previously.

What I am observing is that if more than one flavour of SPEEX is enabled in
vars.xml, then only the first one in the list is offered to phone B in the
SDP section of the INVITE if transcoding is required by Freeswitch.

i.e. In vars.xml I have:

<X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="global_codec_prefs=SPEEX at 16000h,SPEEX at 32000h
,SPEEX at 8000h,G722,G7221 at 32000h,G7221 at 16000h,PCMA,PCMU,GSM"/>

 <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="set" data="outbound_codec_prefs=SPEEX at 16000h
,SPEEX at 32000h,SPEEX at 8000h,G722,G7221 at 32000h,G7221 at 16000h,PCMA,PCMU,GSM"/>


If I then try to make a call from Phone A (using PCMA) to Phone B (using
SPEEX/8000), the call fails and the log shows an incompatible destination.
The SDP of the INVITE from Freeswitch to Phone B offers SPEEX/16000 but not
SPEEX/8000 or SPEEX/32000, so there is no compatible codec offered to Phone
B.

If however both Phone A and Phone B both use SPEEX/8000, the call works
fine  - as my default configuration is that the codec preferred by Phone A
goes to the top of the list of codecs offered to Phone B

Could anyone help with what I need to do to resolve my problem when
transcoding is required though please?

I am did "make current" last night so am using the latest snapshop.

many thanks again,
Bruce
