Supported features

• hang up ongoing call
• receive audio stream from peer

Notes

Audio formats

The codec is "PCMU/8000". Bit rate is 8, which means 8 bits per sample. Sample rate is 8000, which means 8000 samples per second.

You may play saved audio by the following commands:

ffplay -autoexit -f mulaw -ar 8000 test.raw

Or

play -b 8 -r 8000 -e mu-law test.raw

Todo

• Try other payload types, such as OPUS
  • tried OPUS/16000, but the received packets are quite small and cannot be played
• do not hard code domain and outboundProxy
  • I tried sip10.ringcentral.com:5096 as outboundProxy, it requires TLS instead of TCP
  • I made TLS work, however for inbound call there is no INVITE message coming in, for outbound call "488 Not Acceptable Here"
• check the code of PJSIP and refactor the code.
• Let developer check the call info, such as who is calling, who is being called, etc.

Dev Notes

• We don't need to explicitly tell remote server our local RTP port via SIP SDP message. We send a RTP message to the remote server first, so the remote server knows our IP and port. So, the port number in SDP message could be fake.
