Hi everyone,
there's a feature we are missing from chan_sip: the possibility to
adjust a SIP peer's/user's TX/RX gain.
The reason for this is that we have an upstream PSTN-to-SIP provider
which converts their SS7 links directly to SIP without reducing gain on
the line. The result is that PSTN calls are much louder than regular
SIP-to-SIP calls. We would like to add, say, "txgain=-10" and
"rxgain=-10" to the SIP peer configuration, so that all audio
coming/going from/to that peer will be made "quieter" (or louder). I
reckon that there would be some DSP programming involved in this, if I'm
not mistaken...
The PSTN provider is using a softswitch where rx/tx gain can only be
adjusted on an SS7 trunk basis. The trunks are shared among several
customers, therefore they won't adjust the gain for us.
Is there anyone who would be willing to create this feature? Is this
something for a bounty? Or should we plain forget about it?
I've actually written two different patches for this to solve pretty
much the same problem:
1. A SIP-channel only patch that works for alaw/ulaw (a bit of a kludge)
2. A technology independent patch that works for all codecs[1] that adds
a SetGains(txgain,rxgain) function for adjusting incoming channels, and
adds a V(txgain:rxgain) flag to Dial() for outgoing channels (much less
of a kludge).
Currently both patches are against the 1.2.x branch.
Want me to send one/both through to you? Or should I wait until you
offer a bounty... >;-)
Cheers,
Nic.
[1] Although it'll add a transcode step to linear PCM and back in the
middle, which if you're using expensive codecs will chew extra CPU and
add delay (and if you're using G.729, will chew through your channel
licenses).
