FreeSWITCH, OpenSim and the G722.1C codec
Kai Ludwig has recently left a very valuable comment (thank you, Kai):
Actually the new FreeSwitch siren14 codec has never been used with SLVoice! Everybody having voicechat with OpenSim is using PCMU without knowing it.
Actually I didn’t realize that at first either, but after he pointed this out, I started looking for a way to be able to use siren14. I haven’t really come up with a way to use the SLVoice.exe included with the SecondLife viewer, rather, I modified the voipforvw codes to support it. Voice quality is now way better than the stock PCMU.
In the near future, I intend to make a post on how to use voipforvw with FreeSWITCH.

Hi Zaki,
Nice work
Do you have any plans to get voipforvw bundled with a client such as Hippo ? would be good to have Hippo use the siren codec out of the box for use in opensim… in fact the Meerkat viewer might even be a better bet seeing as that doesnt ship with SLvoice.exe at all..
