I have been trying out Asterisk with the speex codec with X-lite as a
client. I applied the REG patch on my windows machine that is recommended in
Voip-info.org. Every time I make a call I get the following error:


codec_speex.c:167 speextolin_framein: Out of buffer space

If I do not hang up before 30 seconds, my machine then slows down and it
can take up to 10 minutes to shut down. Is speex worth the trouble?




My personal opinion is that you would be better off using GSM or iLBC.. I don't think Speex has any advantage over these codecs and is always a PITA..


Sorry but I disagree. I am using SPEEX and voice quality is much better than GSM and it consumes less bandwidth. Using Speex and Linux is just a "make; make install".
Although, we MUST encourage OpenSource initiatives or we will pay Licenses forever. Take a look at G.723 or G.729, for example. ITU released this protocols many years ago and we still have to pay royalties. About this kind of license there is another thread talking about...

Agreed, speex is fine when going * to *.. UA to * over speex is usually a nightmare, and the number of UA's with speex support are very few.. Maybe if there was more support for it in the industry it would be worth using.. We will just have to wait and see what the future holds..

Anyway personal favorite is iLBC but there is not much support in the UA's for that either.. :(

So for now its GSM or G.711 from UA to *.. What a choice!!

Later..
