[asterisk-users] streaming meetme conference

[Evan P. Hall]

You can check the read/write format of the channel from the CLI.  Do a 'show channels' to see the channel name of the channel in your meetme.  Then 'show channel xxx' using the channel id from first step.  It will show you the read and write formats for the channel.  My channel is a Local channel from a call file and it always shows 'slin' for format.

Evan,

Thanks for the link to the comments page. I was able to get ezstream to compile and created the "ices" command that piped the stdin audio from the conference room to lame then send it to icecast via ezstream.

Problem is, all you hear is static. I just have 1 member in the conference room, the streamer, so MoH is playing. All I hear on the stream is pure static.

How can I be sure that I'm not feeding lame something it can't understand? I'm sure lame can't understand g729 or alaw or something else I may have on. How do I make sure I'm sending it pcm?

Thanks,
Matthew
