How many channels have you guys been able to get with this? The only problem I have with this is that it takes skype and a soundcard (virtual or otherwise) and the "API" is really executing commands on a running skype process. In my opinion its not worth it for 1 concurrent call per account.
I have written code that works with skype in linux that simulates a virtual sound device. I have used that and successfully done calls out with this. I havent played with the dbus stuff (how you control the skype app from within linux) but since I have a "soundcard" that I know the audio format of it wouldnt be difficult to integrate this into asterisk, I could tweak chan_oss and make it into chan_skype fairly easily since that takes care of the other half of the equation. The only thing missing would be the events via dbus, which there are plenty of examples on so its not like all new code would have to be written. But its just not worth it if you have to have skype running for each call. And then you would potentially have to have a new username for each running process, and skype really wants X on linux so you would have to at least have the X virtual frame buffer (it works and acts like X but never displays anything or uses any hardware). That seems like an aweful lot of wasted resources on a box to connect to skype. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast IE +44 28 9099 6461 DE +49 801 777 555 3402 Utrecht NL +31 306 553058 US WA +1 360 207 0479 US NY +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.trxtel.com the VoIP provider that pays you!
