I believe the issue is that 'loop' consumes fewer cycles, because there's really only one thread pulling from the source - it duplicates the RTP packets to all recipients. The 'linear' mode would require that each recipient have an unique stream. The linear mode also would not make any sense when the source is external through the system audio input. _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
