[Speex-dev] Bitrate problem

This is a common problem. Sound cards run at different
clock speeds (but your difference seems kinda high).
What I'd suggest is dropping silence packets once in a
while.

Subject: [Speex-dev] Bitrate problem

Hello all,

This is a bit off topic but I am sure many of you can
answer it.

I use speex and speex-wb in my VOIP application. With
speex [at 8 KHz] bitrate is arround 30KBPS, including
UDP,RTP headers. This is OK for me and I get good quality
audio.

Problem is, if call is made from a HIGH END machine [like
P4 3.2 GHz with good soundcard] to a LOW END machine
[like P3 550 MHz], high end pc sends at more bitrate than
as usual [arround 31Kbps].And apparently low end PC
receives this HIGH bitrate.

So, slow end PC receives audio packets at arround 8100 Hz
but it is confiured for 8000 Hz. So there are overflows
in the directsound buffer at receiver end at periodic
interval [in my case after every 30 sec], than I flush
the buffer which makes some distortion.

What should be approapriate solution for this resynch
problem?


Thanks

Shantanu
