Yes, there is nearly _no_ documentation but a amiling list and some
example code. That's enough for writing a simple client - and this is
really not difficult. The "bigger" problem is to know how everything
should work and to set up Asterisk and conferences easyly which took
some time.

Everyone on the list told me to produce something portable and it took
some time to find somethin which is portable. I think for the current
stae and development of the program I had done the right decissions. It
may not work out of the box on Windows or OSX but the base for porting
to non-linux is given.

I think that noone needs to run an Asterisk server if he is using a
client. For the first time I can run the server and if it will be used
to much we have to think about setting up one at another location. The
server is something specialized and not for the normal user.
Currently I am not using the manager API. A XML-RPC-Daemon creates the
configs and then "sytem("asterisk -rx 'reload chan_iax'");" is called
:-)

Yes, that sounds great! Asterisk is not a problem, but alsa seems to be
very strange. I will come back on this topic the next days...
Currently I write the manual and I hope to bring the release next
week...
