The internal architecture of asterisk right now is based on sending a packet for each packet received (timing), therefore asterisk is not currently compatible with VAD/Silence support regardless of which codec you use. (eg, its not a codec issue at all.) There was some discussion in the past about changing that architecture, but my understanding is that it's not a trevial task at all. Might search the archives for more accurate detail. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
