It seems unusual to CC ftpmaster in a bug report, but keeping the CC as this is a reply to one that went there.

Just to recap: Ron described communicating with upstream in which they did not commit to supporting CELT 0.7.1, which Ron said is bitstream incompatable with other versions of CELT. i.e. what is reported is that only a specific version of CELT is allegedly not getting support upstream. A logical thing to try from here, if you want to give this a shot, would be to attempt to build the current upstream version from source and see if the current version of CELT that it includes will work with older versions of mumble-server, many of which are public. If you manage to get it to build and run, in the configuration select "Advanced" on the bottom left of the configure window, then in the "Audio Output" section under "Loopback Test", try the "server" setting and see if you can hear yourself through the server. This would specifically be helpful in verifying firsthand if the newer versions of CELT that ship with upstream Mumble will work with older versions of mumble-server. > I wonder how other distros will handle this... > > In general, I had a few words with some mumble devs on IRC a few days > back.

Do you know if CELT still the default codec? -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
