Re: [Linphone-developers] Newbie question

[Asim Jamshed]

Thanx... I found almost all of my answers to the questions asked.
As a first step, I am trying to trace the flow of execution when i
answer the phone call.
As of now, I have got the following trace:

1) lpc_cmd_answer

2) linphone_core_accept_call (some really weird functions calls over
here.. no idea what they do :))

3) linphone_core_start_media_streams


For a start ill try to save the file as well as echoing it on the
speaker i.e. ill just add the code for file creation and writing in
the MSFilter of my corrosponding sound driver. The problem is that i
still cant find the function where the data is arriving from the rtp
layer.
