You have the luxury of choice that I don't have: I have so far only got
one working, so am using that (OH323).

I guess it comes down to which one performs better in your environment.

Interesting. I wonder if that is why I was getting no audio - I was
only specifying aLaw.

I'm not sure. I only need to use G.711 aLaw, so haven't tried any others.
What were you asking about debugging? The codec issue or file descriptors?

Cheers
