[Asterisk-Users] DIAX 0.93 with some sound improvements and not only...

[Dan]

Hi all,

DIAX 0.9.3 is available for download from the same place:
http://www.laser.com/dante
or
http://www.geocities.com/tdanro

The new DLL contain the latest updates made by Steve in the iaxclient
library.
Still just IAX1 is supported (for the moment).

What's new in 0.9.3?

    - accept blank passwords;
    - accept for registration/calls host names, not only IP Address;
    - password no more displayed in clear in the registration window;
    - if no username is entered in the registration form, then 'guest' is
used by default;
    - tooltip for memory buttons as full CallerID;
    - missed calls indicator display now the number of missed calls (in the
tooltip too);
    - tooltip for tray icon is now "You have X missed call(s)";
    - A bunch of signal processing stuff from speex (newly implemented in
the Steve K's iaxclient library, see
        http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net for more details):
        1) A denoising filter: This is a very effective filter which reduces
background noise;
        2) New AGC: This AGC implementation from speex seems to work much
better than the
            compander implementation used previously;
        3) A new "automatic" silence detection based on speex' VAD. If you
set the silence threshold to
            a positive number, you now get speex' VAD, instead of my hacky
noise-threshold code;
        4) Bias removal: Removes bias from input signals. This makes other
DSP functions work correctly,
            including the VU-meter, which was often incorrect when bias was
present;
        5) Echo cancellation:. Speex echo is used (this cannot be changed
for the moment).

- Some bugs solved:
        - after clicking on VOL UP/DOWN only the left channel is heard;
        - tab stop in Registration form corrected


Please send me you feedback especially on sound quality (noise, agc, etc)
and bugs.

Best regards,
Dan
