[Iaxclient-devel] What are people thinking of/ planning to use iaxclient for?

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

Hey list,

There's now 36 people on the iaxclient-devel mailing list, and I figured
now would be a good time to get an idea from people of what they're
using or planning on using iaxclient for, what they'd like to see in
there, and what they'd like to work on.

Obviously, nobody needs to tell us what they're doing, but I think that
if I know, or other people know what others are thinking, it can help
people work together better.

I know there's a crew out there planning on using the library itself, in
some MS-Windows applications.  There's the people who have helpfully
contributed already (and they've been noted in the README).  I guess I'm
curious as to who's doing this as a hobby, who's planning on using this
as part of larger projects, etc.

Feel free to reply to the list, or just to me if you don't want to make
things public, or not at all if you don't want to either..

I think it's pretty clear what I'm planning for my own needs; I just
need what's more or less already described on the website, which is a
very small, very simple, cross-platform graphical client which really
just supports making a single outbound call, to a destination specified
on the command-line.  The important things for us are call quality,
reliable operation, and some audio options.  At this point, I think that
I'll be basing my client on "wx", and using wxwindows for development
because it's worked out pretty well, but I might end up making separate
native Win32 and MacOSX UIs to it.  

Some things that we still need that haven't been discussed here yet are
some really good echo cancellation, so we can have full-duplex calls for
users without headsets (i.e. using standard speakers and microphones). 
Right now, that's pretty unusable on laptops because of echo, and not
very pleasant unless you have a good directional microphone, and keep
the speakers low.

Thanks.
