No!! it DOES NOT "WORK".<br><br>1) There is some 'issue' with reliably pumping 1 channel of audio over the USB subsystem for some reason.<br>It may have something to do with the alsa/oss compatibility laver in the kernel. No, I have not tried porting<br>the native ALSA stuff to chan_simpleusb. NO, I do not have the time to do that, or even try to do that.<br>No, I probably never will.<br><br>2) the only seemingly viable distro, with sources that are close enough to a running kernel that are obtainable<br>is the Ubuntu (or debian, I am not sure, nor care which it actually is). Unfortunately, this distro comes with<br>openssl version 1.X (rather then the traditional 0.X) and, therefore res_crypto, which is needed for authentication<br>for the Allstar portal stuff will not compile, and therefore does not qualify any system built this way to be associated<br>with the Allstar network. <br><br>3) The above issue (with the res_crypto thing, at least) would be solved by using Asterisk 1.6 (or newer), which,<br>AT SOME POINT WHEN TIME AND COMPETENT TESTING *MAY* BE AVAILABLE (which it CERTAINLY is not now)<br>could be implemented. Parts of the code are already compatible with this (version 1.6, at least) (most of the MAJOR pieces at least).<br><br>If anyone that has the ability, time, and interest to port the native ALSA stuff to chan_simpleusb (as is used in chan_beagle,<br>for example), and is willing to do so with the understanding that it may be ENTIRELY FUTILE, please speak up.<br>If this hurdle (well, rather large mountain, actually) can be gotten over, then maybe we could look at the openssl/<br>res_crypto thing.<br><br>Just to give everyone out there a "heads up" that might be thinking of commenting on this, please be aware that:<br><br>1) This really, really, really is the accurate, correct, and real information about this, and if your opinion differs from this,<br>please dont express it here. It will not be taken positively to say the least!<br><br>2) This whole "pi mess" is an EXTREMELY SORE SUBJECT with me at this time. I have spent now, DOZENS OF HOURS<br>attempting to get this poo-wad to function. It has been nothing other then a HUGE WASTE OF TIME that I *REALLY*<br>don't have to waste.<br><br>Jim<br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> From: nessenj@jimsoffice.org<br>> To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2013 17:43:24 +0000<br>> Subject: [App_rpt-users] Pi status?<br>> <br>> So, I have to admit that I have been loosely following this group over the past few months and sadly I am not up to speed!<br>> <br>> What's the status of the Pi with asterisk/app_rpt?
