[linux-audio-user] voice/video calls/conferencing and JACK (was: Re: Mix Minus with AM-Pitchshift; a study in LinuxAudio usability)

Hello all, sorry for cross-posting to lad -- this just in case there are any interested developers out there interested in this topic...

I'm involved with adding SIP support (very much standard compliant, and open-source) to the project. And, as gstreamer has JACK support (btw; Andy Wingo from gstreamer was one of the early members of the JACK team), you will be able to do lots of nice stuff with this technology (= with apps utilizing FarSight) once the project matures a bit more. It is still open who will first adopt FarSight, but it is targetted towards IM apps such as Gaim, aMSN, Kopete, etc... and who knows what in the end. If anyone is interested, come and take a look at the project and join the fun! :) I'm not an official FarSight developer (at least not yet :)), so detailed questions should probably be directed to the FarSight mailing lists... You can already do some basic audio/video streaming over RTP to/from JACK using just gst-launch (put together chains of rtp, codec and jack sink/sources). This can be easily controlled from the command-line. But, but, as mentioned already, this is still work in progress... -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux!
