Brian, there was not one insulting word in anything I have said and as this is a community mailing list my replies are always voiced to address the public in general not you specifically, like I already mentioned in my last post.
If you open a public forum on a FAQ be prepared to hear our policy. Indeed many people do unrealistic load testing and most people with strong will find it insulting when a group of people have a set of standard policy by which they try to deal with making a penny jar for all the 2 cents worth of input we get on a daily basis. I can't begin to iterate over all the cases we endure on a weekly basis. additionally 90% of bug reports are on older releases and we always make people reproduce their issues on SVN trunk because 3 core devs and a handful of helpers can't maintain 20 versions of the code. I gave you some really suggestions yesterday let me repaste it, I fail to see any insults: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What exactly is your test process? you should try increasing the interval in the conference profile to a bigger time slice maybe 30 40 or 60ms you could also increase the ptime to match as well. like brian said you could use mod_shout to broadcast the single speaker to icecast and let people listen with itunes/winamp --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have to get in these "fights" with people constantly so I guess that is part of my job and my biggest mistake is spending so much time trying to explain myself. - Show quoted text - On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 1:33 PM, Michael Collins <m...@freeswitch.org> wrote: > > > On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 11:14 AM, Brian <br...@proximosystems.com> wrote: > >> I was evaluating the technologies available, and I thought you would be >> interested in my results.
