[Asterisk-Dev] The hardware codec integration

[Bruce Ferrell]

Jeremy,

You've made the statement loudly and repeatedly.  What _exactly_ is 
"broken"?  What revision did you use to determine this?  Which drivers 
were you using?

Are you still torqued you couldn't get the DSP load for free?  Is that 
what this is really about?

I, for one, am sick to death of the "strong personalities" infesting 
VoIP.  I have yet to get a straight answer from even one of the gurus on 
what's right and/or wrong.  I'm not interested in supporting one camp or 
another... One product or another... I want to see all this stuff work 
together.  Ethernet does... Telephone stuff does.  VoIP seems to be 
broken up into little bitty fiefdoms of gurus trying to make sure that 
none of the others get's an edge and holding the community hostage.

Quicknet builds a card with a dsp and does G.723 on the card.  From what 
I see here, digium does a card that delivers raw audio so that software 
can encode it... Is one approach better than another?  It all depends on 
the application.  Now, let's get on with with solving problems.  Our 
pockets will fill naturally enough.
