Re: [Linphone-developers] Linphone and G.722 Wideband codec

[Simon Brenner]

I just created a separate repository for developing a G.722 linphone plugin.
Have a look at
http://bitbucket.org/herrpi/msg722

It doesn't run yet but I hope to get it right with your help! You can configure 
and compile it the
usual way:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install (as root)

Or directly download a tar.gz:
http://bitbucket.org/herrpi/msg722/get/v0.1.tar.gz

I think there's not much left to do but don't know what yet... The plugin is 
already loaded at
linphone startup but isn't shown in the codec list...
