Finished first version of ALSA channel driver for Asterisk, it can be found on the CVS server. Woohoo! I think the only major problems that are left are fine tuning buffer sizes. Ugh....

hrm... Looks like I'm going to take over maintaining of Gnophone. It's a neat application that acts as a VoIP endpoint for Asterisk. It talks the IAX protocol, and has support for OSS and older 0.5.x ALSA soundcards, zaptel devices, and the quicknet products (phonejack, etc). It'll be interesting to see how things go with it. I think I'm going to write a simple IAX client that runs as a daemon in the background and drives a phone. Kind of a simple version of gnophone, or asterisk. I think now that I've got this alsa stuff down, I'll write a newer ALSA driver for it, for the pre-1.0 releases (that's the version of ALSA the new asterisk driver uses).

Ok, back to work...
