<div dir="ltr">Also coming back to this with some real-life case
issues I'm currently facing and why I can't use audiosocket :(
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I need to be able to ask the ARI/AGI/AMI for an IP/port
combo and for an external app to then connect into asterisk
rather than asterisk connecting to a URI elsewhere. Lets say I
already have a nodejs (or any other language) process taking
care of controlling that call via ARI or even AGI (all the
different ways) - I need that same process to handle the media
I'm sending and receiving to/from asterisk and so if I already
have that process up and then Asterisk calls out to a generic
URI then that media will never make it back to the original
nodejs process.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think its of upmost importance that I be able to ask
asterisk for a host:port pair and then be able to connect to
that port from my external application.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I certainly don't mind if a better-designed
system comes along and obviates my AudioSocket
implementation. I built it because I needed it.
However, bidirectional audio flow is critical for me
(speech synthesis, external interfacing, real-time
processed audio, processed injections, etc). While I
would actually prefer a system which was a bit beefier
than my own (simple protocol aside, there's a good deal
of range between my protocol and MRCP), my meagre C
skills (and patience) don't allow me to venture forth
into those difficult waters.

<div>I do like the separate connection (unlike Wazo's)
and the support of TLS (unlike mine)... and yours is
certainly (even without looking) more performant.
Mine also probably needs a multi-threaded,
dedicated-receiver approach like most of the other
channels which handle socket-received media, rather
than the simple non-blocking I/O with null frame
insertion. No perfect solution yet.</div>

</div>
<div>I was on vacation when this thread happened but
I'm also working on this now. The implementation
uses the existing ARI channel and bridge recording
endpoints ands add the ability to specify a URI in
the form of (udp|tcp|tls)://hostname:port to
stream the media. This makes use of the existing
chan_bridge_media driver and only requires a
scheme handler similar to Seán's res_audiosocket.
This implementation is more targeted to real-time
speech recognition/transcription/captioning and is
therefore one way (outbound). A future
enhancement is planned that would send each
channel in a bridge as a separate audio channel in
a multi-channel container.</div>
<div><br>

<div>I'm not suggesting that this should replace
Seán's audiosocket stuff but I did want to let you
know what was in the pipeline.</div>

This is very different from what we did. You
need dialplan to use it. In our case we
don't need any dialplan to use it, it's more
ARI approach.<br>
