asterisk users - Mar 2016 - OPUS support in Asterisk 13

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked before. I searched a lot, but found
conflicting answers, so hoping for some clarification.

My question is does Asterisk 13 support OPUS? If so which version exactly?

If asterisk 13 requires a patch, which is the correct one and where do I
get it?

Kind regards,

C

Sort of - it supports OPUS pass through officially, but does not
support OPUS transcoding.  I'm not certain when pass through support
went in though, but I believe it was prior to cutting of the 13
branch.

There are some unofficial patches that add OPUS support to Asterisk
but I cannot point you to which ones are best to use, unfortunately.

Hope that helps!

I still find it odd that OPUS is not considered safe enough for Asterisk
even though it has been used in various programs such as Firefox and
Chromium/Chrome. Not very handy if anybody wants to use Asterisk for
WebRTC.

Anyway, the up-to-date one I have is:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-voip/asterisk.git/tree/debian/patches/opus.patch?h=debian/1%2513.7.2_dfsg-2
based on https://github.com/seanbright/asterisk-opus , which has rotted
a bit (but took only a minor bit of tweaking).
