<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I'm
told that Asterisks wideband capability is exclusively based upon 16 khz
sampling. Higher sampling rates, like you might find with CELT, are downsampled
for mixing at 16 khz.<br>
<br>
My guess is that not everyone will be happy with this, especially vendors
trumpeting codecs with higher sampling rates. To handle their output will be more
CPU intensive.<br>

Thanks Michael. I guess prior to 1.6.2, Asterisk was downgrading streams to
SLIN before mixing and then mixed stream got upgraded to WB. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My question is, with this release, is Asterisk converting WB codecs to SLIN16
and mix them that way ? That seems to be the logical way to me just wanted an
insider expert to confirm/deny that. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Is this the right list to ask that question/find the right contact before I
delve into the code knee deep ? <br>

Hi, <br>
<br>
I wanted to follow up on this thread about WB support on the MeetMe bridge that
is in 1.6.2. Does it only work for G722 or any WB codec ? <br>
<br>
I am working with another 16k WB codec that I can transcode to 722 and vice
versa. I was curious if the 1.6.2 MeetMe bridge can also mix 722 with any other
WB codec natively(without downscaling). <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
<br>
Serhad Doken <br>
<br>
While not an expert in Asterisk internal, it seems unlikely that Asterisk is
mixing signals in encoded space. It's most likely converting the stream to slin
for mixing then encoding back into whatever is most appropriate for each
end-point.<br>

<p>If so, i&#8217;ve also read that Joshua Colp was/is working on a replacement
(conf_bridge?) that works with G722. If this is this still in active
development are there any planned timelines? If it&#8217;s in 1.6.0.6, and
i&#8217;ve just missed it or it&#8217;s been renamed please be nice in your
responses! :o) <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>It was just merged into Asterisk SVN trunk, on its way to becoming part of
Asterisk 1.6.2. It's new and still has some limitations, but progress is being
made and we welcome additional testing! <o:p></o:p></p>
