[Opensim-users] Voice and MOAP in the same grid?

[Mike O'Brien]

Thanks for the answer!  So far I've seen lots of Web references to how  
Viewer 2 does NOT work with Freeswitch, and no one specifically saying  
that they've succeeded. Apparently the Vivox module changed somehow.   
In fact if you log into OpenSim+Freeswitch with Viewer 2 having voice  
enabled, you swamp the sim with console error messages until you  
disable voice chat in the viewer:

It'd be nice if someone figured out what went south here; it's a major  
pain in the (^&(*& if you want both voice and MOAP.  I do have  
Freeswitch working with both 0.6.8 and the current git head  
(proto-0.7.1, 0.7.1RC1, whatever you want to call it)...but only with  
Hippo or some other 1.X viewer.  I read Melanie's _cri du coeur_ about  
wanting to get Freeswitch to talk properly to a grid (apparently it  
works in grid mode only by accident, and if the "magic sim" goes down,  
that's it for Freeswitch in all regions), but I'm not in a position to  
help as I'm not a C# programmer, nor a Windows programmer.  I'm just  
glad mono works on a Mac.

Sadly, we have a mix of platforms and can't depend on Mumble.  If it  
were cross-platform it'd be great; I'm on a Mac, meself, and doubt  
mono would handle the task.  Absent positive word on that, I lack  
courage to try.
