 Anyone who likes to test mumble, please log in with your desired

 register. Then drop me a short note and I will give you admin

 I tried, but http://vm3.documentfoundation.org:64738/ only gives me an

You need to install the Mumble client from
http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ to access the mumble-server.

 Cc'ing Alex, who IMHO has some insight on running a Mumble server. Alex,
 would it be suitable for our confcalls? How many resources does it need,
 how does it work with client firewalls?

Clear advantages of mumble are low latency and high audio quality even
through slow connections usig CELT and Speex codecs (with overhead, the
needed bandwidth varies between 17.4kbit and 133.6kbit). (Internal)
Userauthentication is based on a PKI, interconnection with other
authentication sources is possible. Every connection is always
AES-encrypted. Mumble is opensource and platform-independent.

A disatvantage is the need to use the Qt-based client and the exclusive
use of a custom protocol. There is no possibility to connect to the
server via SIP.

Setup of the server can be done quickly as packages exist, so evaluation
is possible.

Cu,
Alex

Hi Alex,

thanks for the fast and good feedback!

That would be indeed interesting!

My take is that anything that is not accessible via phone is *not* good 
for us. Some people have issues with firewalls or a low-bandwith 
connection, and when people are on the road, they often only have a 
mobile with them, so a software-only-based solution doesn't sound to 
appealing to me.


However, we can try to combine it with phones (Asterisk :-) and we can 
also use these tools when for a dedicated call, e.g. for certain teams, 
this solution without phones is enough.

I think I read somewhere that Sophie mentioned we were setting up an Asterisk

2011-05-28 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hi,

indeed, we had the idea of setting up our own Asterisk, but at the 
moment, this is not feasible.


The Skype module support has been stopped, as Marc posted, and the SIP 
trunking Skype offers is insanely expensive - 6,95 USD per month per 
channel. So, for ten people to dial-in via Skype, it would cost us 69,50 
USD per month.


Getting dial-in numbers in foreign countries is also rather impossible. 
Per two incoming calls we would have to pay 12,90 € per month, and the 
next two callers would need to use another number. So, in a nutshell, an 
own Asterisk server makes only sense if


either someone in need of a dial-in can provide us with a local VoIP 
number like sipgate offers


or we directly use SIP

Both options don't look senseful :(
