hi, im a student from a local university in our place. i'm not sure if this is the place to post this question so please pardon me if im wrong. my questions is that when i transfer speex encoded samples through a rtp session wire, upon receiving the samples i immediately decode and play them, but i get a crackling sound when i decode and play each sample received. 1) i used 160*5 as my wave buffer length when recording with a 8000 sample rate, 16 bits per sample and mono channel. i have set these values before recording/encoding: SPEEX_SET_QUALITY=8 SPEEX_SET_BITRATE=15000 SPEEX_SET_VBR=1 SPEEX_SET_VBR_QUALITY=6.0f SPEEX_PREPROCESS_SET_DENOISE=1 speex version: 1.1.5 are these values correct? 2) do i have to buffer like N amount of samples before i play them? if i do then would it degrade the realtime playback of the recorded sound? 3) what would be the suggested buffer length of my wave buffer so that i can get a smooth and continous playback? i apologize for a long email. i would gladly appreciate your help with this. thanks. amiel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
