Its been almost a year since I worked on this, but voice is functional in a limited manner if you have the time and ability to set everything up.
There is the server-side changes, and gateway app that DrScofld created, and a client-side hack that I wrote last year: http://xyzzyxyzzy.net/2008/04/18/opensim-voice-support-the-goal-is-in-sight/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/voipforvw/ The voipforvw project attempts to reverse engineer the SLVoice.exe module that ships with SL viewer. The problems with the current state of things: - no one is being paid to work on voipforvw anymore - there is only 1 real viewer: LL SL client and kin - SLVoice.exe/Vivox is proprietary and a black-box - no one can work on the LL SL client and OpenSim at the same time - Asterisk is a PITA to work with - One would need to learn SIP telephony networking details to do a proper and secure job of making a VoIP network and probably some more. My hope is that the upcoming reX viewer will solve some of these issues by: - making reX viewer a non-LL derived, BSD-based viewer so people can work on both - paying people to work on voice for the reX viewer - using the hopefully simpler an better supported XMPP protocol suite for IM, voice, and video I encourage everyone to help us out on our mission when we reach the stage where we can release a 0.1 version.
