<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our 500+ company is slowly moving away from our hosted
conferencing solution to one I built a few weeks ago with Asterisk and
MeetMe. When our Q3 conference call comes around, we will have the need
to have approximately 300-400 users in this call. Obviously, all would be ‘listen
only’ mode and only 1 or 2 two would be speaking as marked/admin users.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our conference hosting provider was able to stream our calls
to the web so that lessened the number of calls into the bridge. I’d like
to accomplish the same thing with Asterisk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I got Icecast and app_ices() up and working fine, streaming
the conference, but I ran into three serious issues:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:22.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>icecast
only supports OGG/Vorbis and neither iTunes nor WMP can play that format natively.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:22.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>A
considerable delay of close to 45 seconds over the stream<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:22.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Every
x seconds, it sounded like a packet or two of speech was being dropped even
though VLC reported no packet loss<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My work computer and the asterisk server are on the same
network so network latency isn’t the issue for #2 and #3.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone successfully setup meetme streaming in the manner
I have described? Were you able to stream WAV or MP3? Did you experience the 45
second delay?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers and T.I.A!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
