Re: [Linphone-developers] [Q] Differences between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 ?

[Simon Morlat]

Hi,

I had problems with g729 because it uses 10 ms frames, while the mediastreamer 
timer ticks every 20 ms. I solved the problem by setting the timer at 10 m, 
in mstimer.c at the begginning of the file:
        MS_SYNC(sync)->samples_per_tick=80;
        ms_timer_set_interval(sync,10);
and it works.
Try that.
Remember that linking linphone to a proprietary library is something 
"dangerous", the GPL isn't compatible with such proprietary softwares.
As I do not encourage people to do that, I will not merge your patch into the 
main tree.
However in 1.2.0 branch I 've added a plugin mechanism, every library in 
$prefix/lib/linphone/mediastreamer/plugins/ will be loaded by linphone at 
startup. This makes easier the possibility to distribute plugins for linphone 
that add new codecs, new sound support (esd, artsd ?).

People can also use this to try non-free plugins that link to proprieraty and 
patented libraries, I'll not sue people for that, but remember this is 
illegal.

I prefer encouraging people and companies to throw away all those G.72* stuff 
and prefer gsm, speex or ilbc.
