Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] RTP audio listener

[Alejandro Vaquero <alejandrovaquero@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
   I'm planning to add an enhancement to the RTP analysis to listen the 
audio. This is the idea:

1) Use an open source multi-platform audio library. PortAudio 
(www.portaudio.com) looks easy to use and have all we need just to play 
the audio, and works for Win, Mac, and unix (OSS). I definitely need 
some help here to be able to add it to Ethereal and then test it in 
different platforms.
2)  There are codecs that need license to be used like G729 and G723. We 
can not add this as part of Ethereal distribution, but the idea is to 
allow Ethereal to easily use those as plugins if someone wants to add 
them because it has license. So, the idea is to have plugins for the 
codecs. We can start doing the G711 plugin. The plugin will take the 
compressed audio buffer, and return the uncompressed audio (a 8khz, 
16bit, mono)
3) Before playing the audio, will be a a variable to set the "jitter 
buffer" parameter to simulate a real DSP. We can start using an static 
jitter buffer, and then improve it to be dynamic.

Ideas/thought??

Regards
Alejandro
