[Freeswitch-users] Audio clipping in mod_conference

Setting it to 10 or so doesn't help, it seems that just the threshold of
detection is changed (ok, that's what is expected), not the time until the
decision is made.

The audio clipping is a timing issue.
Does there exist something like a "minimum time" that this algorithm needs
to detect talking after silence? What happens to the audio that was sent by
that member during this time, does.the algorithm discard that?

Greetings,
Roland
