[asterisk-users] gtalk - no audio

[demuel at thephinix.org]

I been to this scenario before. But I got mine working just last May 2007 and it appears
to be stable now ready for some serious commercial application. Hint: if you have any
experience with C, try to check with the source code related to the channels you are
stressing down here. Well, it is not an easy task to do and not for the faint of heart.
With a little luck and more of motivated creativity, you will get it working. Trust me,
been there done that.
