I read your earlier posts about lack of negotiation capabilities in
asterisk.. I guess I'm a little confused about the current state of
affairs.. Maybe you can enlighten me: is any type of video call using
iax2 possible in any publicly available version of asterisk? If it's
only possible using your 1.4 patches/hacks, are those available anywhere?
I've googled and found lots of vague comments that asterisk passes
through video with no option for transcoding, which is fine by me... I
assumed that this meant there is a way to do video, but maybe only when
using sip? Also references to patches backported to the 1.2 series that
I have yet to find... very confusing.
Thanks for all the quick replies, it's a great help!
