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

[Simon Brenner]

Hey everyone,

I've come a step further in developing the G.722 plugin. It's working for me 
now at least for
incoming calls!

If you want to try it, download and build the repository:
http://bitbucket.org/herrpi/msg722

Here's a direct link to the latest version:
http://bitbucket.org/herrpi/msg722/get/v0.6.tar.gz

There's only one thing that I have to patch in Linphone. I do that in a script 
file which is also to
find in the repo.

Maybe this is something that has to be changed by some Linphone developer that 
has the rights to do
that...

In coreapi/sal_eXosip2_sdp.c, I have to change the line:

pt->clock_rate=atoi(p);

to

pt->clock_rate = (!strcasecmp(mime,"G722") ? 16000 : atoi(p));

in order for the plugin to work. I guess this has to do with this strange 
historical error in the
definition of the RTP payload stuff of G.722...

So please try it out and tell me whether everything is alright.
I'm continuing to find a solution for outgoing calls.

Greetings,
-Simon.
