[Astlinux-users] Opus codec for home assitant

[Sándor B. <bal...@ho...>]

I have some older cisco phones with SIP and alaw/ulaw support. And I want to connect to home assistant.
The direct IP call thing failed for some reason and not knowing what the reason might be, I turned to asterisk. I didn't want to install linux for this... but of course this thing is linux only...
So I happily found this project, and got my VM working in a few minutes. astlinux-1.5.0 x86_64 - Asterisk 18.16.0

I want to note here, that on the Status page these messages appear instead of the content of the div...
SIP Trunk Registrations: No such command 'sip show registry' (type 'core show help sip show' for other possible commands)
SIP Peer Status: No such command 'sip show peers' (type 'core show help sip show' for other possible commands)

So after some experimenting I noticed, that microsip can only communicate with home assistant only if the opus codec is enabled.
so home assitant supposedly uses opus. My phones do not support opus, and there is no way I can get CISCO to create a firmware that does.

So of course I googled it. And asterisk can translate between codecs. I found a maillist thread that said, that version 13 is the first version containing OPUS. I use version 18 so it's not a problem. Itried to enable it in astlinux, but after a few attempts I came to the conclusion, that I might miss the "codec_opus.so" in "/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/".
Firstly it said, that it is read only... so I remounted it as read-write but then it complains about not enought space, as it is 100% utilised...

So my question is:
Where can I download the version that contains support for opus?
If for some reason there isn't any, then how can I manually add it without recompiling the whole thing? (I do not want to use linux after all)
