Introduction
App_conference is a channel-independent conference application.
It features efficient audio mixing algorithms as well as video selection
support based on VAD, DTMF or CLI.
Design goals
Appconference has several design goals which are different than Meetme:
* It does not require a zap channel for timing.
* It is very efficient when used with channels which support DTX (silence
detection/discontinuous transmission).
* It can do VAD on channels which do not support DTX (although this
is more expensive than just mixing them, but less expensive then
encoding; therefore it might still be a win).
* It presents messages on the Monitor interface for determine which
speakers are active.
Mixing design
* Minimize encoding/decoding, minimize mixing.
* Minimize generational loss from trancoding.
* Usual cases are handled very efficiently:
o One speaker: That speaker's frame is sent directly to each
participant which uses the same codec. It is trancoded
_once_ for each additional codec type used by participants.
o Two speakers: Each speaker gets the other speaker's frames.
The two speaker's frames are decoded and mixed, and then
encoded _once_ for each codec type used by participants.
Video features
* Video passthrough: video from selected member is passed to every
member of the conference.
* Multiple ways to select video
- VAD
- DTMF from conference members
- CLI
* Ability to set default video sources and to lock/unlock video sources.
License
Naturally, app_conference is GPL. The SVN repository also includes parts of
libspeex, which is distributed under a BSD-style license. See LICENSE for more
details.
Getting app_conference
app_conference is available via SVN from its own home on sourceforge:
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/appconference
Compiling app_conference
* Checkout sources
* Modify Makefile to point to your Asterisk include directory
* make
* sudo make install
Using app_conference
There is no configuration file. Conferences are created on-the-fly.
Please see the file Dialplan.txt for details about the Dialplan syntax.
CLI Commands
Please look at CLI.txt for a comprehensive list of CLI commands and parameters.
Manager Events
app_conference generates several detailed manager events so that applications
interfacing with the manager API can monitor conferences:
* ConferenceState: sent as members begin/end speaking.
Channel: The channel
State: "speaking" or "silent"
* ConferenceDTMF: sent when conference members send DTMF to the conference
Channel: The channel
Key: The DTMF key send [0-9*#]
* ConferenceSoundComplete: send when the conference has finished playing
a sound to a user
Channel: The channel
Sound: The first 255 bytes of the file requested in conference play
sound CLI/Mgr command.
Benchmarking
It would be nice to have solid benchmarks to present, but a good size
machine should be able to handle many callers when either (a) they are
using DTX, or (b) they are listen-only. It's used often with hundreds of
simultaneous callers.
Discussion
The appconference-devel mailing list is the place to discuss everything related
to app_conference. The bug tracker on SourceForge gets a little bit of
attention now and then.
