app_meetme transcodes all media to SLINEAR to mux it through the psuedo Zap channel for conferencing and this is why codec translation is taking place. It does this to accomodate multiple participants coming in with the different codecs, and also because Zaptel itself operates with media that is very near SLINEAR. -- Bird's The Word Technologies, Inc. http://www.btwtech.com/ _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
