Voice Over IP
-
Does anyone have any links to resources that may help me. I've been asked to come up with a proposal for an intercom type system, LAN based only. The problem over normal VOIP is that the voice communication is a simulation of radio traffic, so the users on system may all be on different channels, only when connected to the same channel can they communicate. To simplify, I'm willing to have a limited number of preset channels which users can join/leave. When two or more people are on the same channel, they can talk to each other in a half-duplex method. I was thinking about having a "server" machine and using some form of remoting allowing users to call a common Talk() method on a remote instance (thus allowing the blocking others from talking if required). My questions really are related to the "streaming" of the transmit from the "talker" out to the "listener". I should have time to do a good implementation, but need to present the posposal at the start of next week! Any links, ideas would be welcome.
Regards, Ray

I'd love it if there were... and money isn't that big an object for the right product (it's an important component of an 8 figure project). The latest spanner added to the design is that listeners need to be able to listen to multiple independant channels at the same time! I'm convinved we'll end up creating the framework but I'd still love an API/library to do the comms/audio side of things! In the mean time, I'm presenting the solution without going into programming/implementation specifics -- since that is actually inappropriate at this early stage of my project!
