Karl-- I was involved in merging those patches into Asterisk. They are slightly slower than the original u/a-law algorithms, but not much slower. The u/a-law code are the fastest codecs Asterisk has. As Kevin once said, "1.4 x of 0 is still zero". The author of the fixes told me that his fixes straighten out problems with coding vs. decoding that were in the original code. In the original code, he said, after 4 or so hops, fax transmissions would no longer work. Hope this helps. murf -- Steve Murphy Software Developer Digium
