I've been following this thread from a certain distance because I believed Jerry's problem was only related to calling nua_create and su_root_run from different threads. But if I understand what you are saying correctly, it means that I can't have su_root_run() in one thread and call nua_invite(), for example, from another thread, which my application does. Is this right? If that's so, I believe nua documentation is a bit misleading. Quoting the section 'Initialization and deinitialization': "If the application is not just responding to incoming SIP messages there must also be means to send messages to NUA. This can be handled for example by having a separate thread that calls NUA functions to send messages (...)" Isn't that somewhat opposed to what you explained?
