[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-26124) Set audio format for EAGI audio stream

[John Fawcett (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26124?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=231085#comment-231085 ] 

John Fawcett commented on ASTERISK-26124:
-----------------------------------------

Just to be clearer:
The phrase deals with two separate cases:
1) If you are providing the Submission on behalf of an organization or 
2) you are an employee of an organization

So while 1) is clear to me 2) applies to people who do work unrelated to their submission.

In both cases (so including case 2) the representation being made is:
"that he or she is expressly authorized to execute this Agreement on that organization's behalf."

That representation should be made only for case 1), people submitting on behalf of an organization. For people who are employees of an organization, that are not submitting on behalf of that organization, that representation is not appropriate. What is the reason for that "or you are an employee of an organization"? What does that add? I suspect whoever added that did it for a reason, maybe similar to clause 4 of the Google CLA https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual. 

I can sign the Google clause (because it would be true in my case), but I cannot sign the Digium version because my employer does not give me permission to sign the agreement on its behalf.

>    Affects Versions: 13.9.1
>         Environment: Centos 7

> Suggested enhancement is to be able to set the audio format for the stream that can be accessed by EAGI scripts. Currently the stream is slin 8kHz.
> Not wanting to add another parameter to EAGI which will not be backwards compatible with existing configurations, and also considering that the configuration will not necessarily be a global setting, the attached patch allows to set the format prior to calling the EAGI script by setting the variable: EAGI_AUDIO_FORMAT, for example
> Set(EAGI_AUDIO_FORMAT=slin48)
> I cannot attach the patch due to not having signed a Digium License Agreement. See the link under the URL above for the patch.
> Unfortunately I cannot sign with the current wording: "If ... or you are an employee of an organization, the person signing this Agreement represents that he or she is expressly authorized to execute this Agreement on that organization's behalf."
> The above wording is flawed because it means that people who are employees (even if the job is unrelated) have to sign the agreement on behalf of their employers. 
> My open source activity is not related to my employment and I am not authorized to sign on behalf of my employer.
> I have no issues to assign the patch to Digium, but as the agreement is worded I cannot sign it.
