 |
|
Hi - I'm hoping to use Icecast to feed a Sipura 2000 VOIP ATA box which allows for a MOH input.
I understand people have had success using Icecast to feed an Asterisk server so in principal it looks like this is technically possible, but the the Sipura doesn't allow the address to have a filename, just IP & port.
Is there a way to stream directly in this way? eg...

Use a mountpoint of "/".
You'll need to remove the alias of / -> /status.xsl in the icecast config file for this to work.
The way the HTTP protocol works, you have to send some path - so things that only accept host and port send / (but you should send a bug report to whoever makes it, ask them to make it configurable).

Have you looked at using the console/dsp soundcard option instead? |

MikeS - thanks so much for this info! I wish it had been in the FAQ since it does look much nicer not having to add a filename or expose a webpage if you just want to send out a stream.
donutboy - I'm grateful for your reply but I don't understand what the DSP/soundcard option is.. could you explain?
Sadly having got a 8KHz 8bit stream flowing from SimpleCast to IceCast2 my Sipura is still not recognising (or, according to IceCast2 stats, connecting to) the stream. I'm sure it can reach the IP & port so I've really no idea why it fails at this point. |

The console/dsp is setting the local sound card on the Asterisk box to an extension. You have load the chan_oss in modules.conf.
You will also need to edit oss.conf.
Check www.voip-info.org. I can post part of my dial plan if you like, I used the information from the asterisk pager through sound card article located at www.voip-info.org |

Ahh now I understand why I didn't understand!
I don't use Asterisk (or Linux for that matter!)
This is a Sipura SPA2000 in use as a single SIP ATA.
There is a field called MOH Server which theoretically should work with an Asterisk-compatible stream. I guess that should be MP3 8KHz 8bit?
There seems to be very little info about this - maybe because people normally do use Asterisk with these ATAs.
Anyway - I'm very pleased with IceCast2 so no moans there! |
