[Asterisk-video] aac audio

Mon Apr 16 17:12:15 MST 2007

I've just updated the svn with a new version.
I've implemented a simple jitter buffer for the audio channel. Now it won't
start muxing audio until it get a minimun size on the
buffer and then continue sending packets with a minimum delay between each
one.
I don't know if it's going or work or not, so any feedback would be very
valuable. You can change the values on the audio channel
constructor to see if we make it behave better.
H324MAudioChannel(3,160);

Greetings
Sergio

Dear Francesco,

I could also be that you have better/faster hardware than I do. I am running
on a P4 1.8Ghz with 512mb ram. This might be too low at the moment to
process the incoming video and therefore cause in my case the audio to sound
corrupted. On what system are you running?

With kind regards,

René

Hi Renè,

I' ve tried to switch off sending audio and video, but I experienced
only a very few improvement of quality. Quite far from that of other
handyset (e.g. Samsung).

More over, if mean problem were CPU load due to input video and audio,
probably we would experience same result on every handset and no only on
Nokia.

For sure optimization is a good choice but to solve definitely audio
problem my opinion is that we must investigate on other stuffes
