Alex,
I am using zaphfc now.
I also use an Epia V 10000 mainboard (with Nemiah processor).
Try this:
1. asterisk/Makefile MARCH=i586 option
Make sure that when you hit "make", actually --march=i586 will be used
for
an Epia mainboard.
On my system it had choosen i686 (with some little bit older CVS head), and
this had problems in general with sound.
2. Try running CVS Head + bristuff 0.1.0RC2k (not anything other below i)
It fixes problems about audio.
-> German: + Rauschen, Knistern in der Leitung!
You have this error message:
Jul 29 23:46:49 faar kernel: zaphfc: bchan rx fifo not enough bytes
to> receive! (z1=3983, z2=3976)
It will disappear with bristuff 0.1.0RC2k!
3. How do you use bristuff 0.0.2 but also CVS Head 07/25/04 ?
Both don't work together! You have to use CVS Stable if you want to use
0.0.2.
4. Errors
a) Try s/MSN instead of MSN in your extensions.conf dial plan.
d) see 2.
f) That PRI errors seem to be still a major problem with bristuff.
I have them all the time, even not the exact error like you.
g) link frame errors sound to me not strange, not sure about the exact error
Personally I don't see any advantage using a HFC card instead of an AVM with
chan_capi.
Chan_capi seems to me not under the same development pressure like bristuff
and seems
already be more stable.
It makes no difference using zaphfc or chan_capi if you use it for
connecting PSTN (TE).
I only use HFC + bristuff for using NT mode, to connect my existing pbx
system.
; p2mp NT mode
signalling = bri_net_ptmp
Chan_capi with AVM card doesn't support that.
Greetings
Thomas
