[Iaxclient-devel] preliminary code checked into sourceforge CVS

[Steve K. <st...@St...>]

I've checked in a _very_ preliminary code snapshot, based on the work
that Shawn has done so far.

Basically, the structure is as follows:


Root directory                  iaxclient
Main Library API                iaxclient/lib
GSM Library (imported)          iaxclient/lib/gsm
LibIAX (imported)               iaxclient/lib/libiax
Simple Client                   iaxclient/simpleclient
Simple Client (platform-dep)    iaxclient/simpleclient/win32


The library itself should encapsulate all of what is needed to make an
IAXClient application, including call handling, audio handling, etc,
including platform-dependent code to do audio, networking, or whatnot.

The library will include some other libraries,  for now those are the GSM
library, and the libiax library.  I believe that Mark is going to be
working on updating libiax to IAX2, or whatever it gets called; we'll
definately be tracking those changes.

The "Simple Client" right now is basically "miniphone", but will
eventually turn into a simple telephone client with a simple GUI.  It
will be more like miniphone than Gnophone, though -- a full-featured
client is a different task.

The current code isn't really in a "usable" state.  It will probably only
build on Win32, and doesn't work completely yet.  But it will compile
with either MinGW/Cygwin, or VC++.    It's basically just something to
put out there for people to take a look at, and or provide feedback now
in it's early stages.

Shawn's current "release notes" are:
	There are still some known bugs:

	1.      The transmit audio is not being sent to the server
		(missed something in moving the audio transmit code into
		the library and should be a quick fix).  
	2.      Client will occasionally try to write to a freed memory
		buffer, causing an access violation (rare occurrence,
		will in put code to check buffers before writing)

	In it's current state, the client will work for receiving
	audio, but not sending.  

Feedback always accepted,  code even more happily accepted.
