I am also quite excited about this, I think it can provide some really interesting new ways of interacting with phones, possibilities for composition, or whatever else we can dream up. I am really into the idea of live audio processing of phone calls then feeding back synthesized audio into the phone call.

I just had a thought about this, perhaps it would make more sense to make Asterisk use Jack (http://jackaudio.org/) as the interface for transferring audio to Pd. It's a common standard, it runs on GNU/ Linux, Mac OS X, is alpha on Windows. It would allow Asterisk to interface with a wide range of audio apps that support Jack. AFAIK, you can dynamically allocate and deallocate jack "channels". There is already some support for managing the jack channels in Pd, and I don't think it would be too hard to support. So the idea would be that for each call that is sent to Pd, it would open up a jack channel and notify Pd about it. The question there is whether Jack can support hundreds or thousands of channels. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- There is no way to peace, peace is the way. -A.J.
