Hi to all,
I've been "listening" for quite a while... I think I can answer that one.
Most probably yes, they wont work as they don't provide binaries compiled
against uClibc. It's the same problem with g729 channel, chan_skype and
every other binary distributed by that company. On the technical side, you
could probably find some way to run them, considering you have the code to
compile or an alternative compiled version like the uclibc g729.
The legal issues involved are a completely different matter, and as as far
as I know, the Astlinux proyect won't distribute anything not legal (I
totally agree).
Let's hear the developers :)
