Jan 08 15:26:43 <akiniemi> fyi, ofono is now available in Maemo5, in Fremantle extras-devel repos
Jan 08 22:38:25 <jebba> zhenhua: I have ofono working directly on the device now too. Aki Niemi did an ofono build of version 0.15 that works.  Sample:
Jan 08 22:38:25 <jebba> dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.ofono /isimodem0  org.ofono.Modem.GetProperties
Jan 08 22:38:46 <jebba> Talking Nokia N900 Maemo.   This *not* in passthrough mode, to clarify.  :)
Jan 08 22:50:11 <denkenz> but can you actually do anything with it?
Jan 08 23:12:29 <jebba> denkenz: i can make a fone call  :)
Jan 08 23:12:42 <jebba> dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.ofono /isimodem0 org.ofono.VoiceCallManager.Dial string:"5551212" string:""               WORKSFORME
Jan 08 23:13:28 <jebba> No SMS yet
Jan 08 23:14:35 <denkenz> I know voice calls are provided by the isi driver today, but do you get voice?
Jan 08 23:15:24 <denkenz> as in actual audio?
Jan 08 23:20:42 <jebba> denkenz: yes, actual audio
Jan 08 23:21:20 <jebba> it automajickally fires up the N900/Maemo fone interface
Jan 08 23:21:24 <denkenz> neat :)
Jan 08 23:21:39 <jebba> i'm going to see what it does under fedora 12
Jan 08 23:22:27 <denkenz> The audio part on N900 requires PulseAudio + GSM voice codecs/drivers
Jan 08 23:22:44 <denkenz> I've not been able to find the code released anywhere
Jan 08 23:23:16 <jebba> any clue what ofono/asterisk integration could be done?
Jan 08 23:23:30 <denkenz> define integration?
Jan 08 23:23:48 <jebba> the N900 doesn't require pulse, maemo requires it.  We could do ofono + asterisk + jack  (for example  ;)
Jan 08 23:24:12 <jebba> e.g. place/receive ofono calls via asterisk.
Jan 08 23:24:31 <denkenz> Well, I remember there was a presentation about N900 audio infrastructure at Plumbers
Jan 08 23:24:55 <denkenz> And they said that audio is fed over a character device to PulseAudio driver
Jan 08 23:25:28 <jebba> N900 != maemo though.  Maemo is the OS, N900 is the hardware.  In "theory" openbsd could be put on the thing, for instance.
Jan 08 23:25:32 <denkenz> should be no problem to have asterisk call oFono for voice
Jan 08 23:25:58 <denkenz> Sure, but we'd need to write our own gsm audio handling
Jan 08 23:26:26 <denkenz> And I've not seen the code for that released anywhere
Jan 08 23:26:52 <jebba> asterisk does gsm audio codec, but perhaps you are referring to something else.
Jan 08 23:28:15 <denkenz> http://linuxplumbersconf.org/2009/slides/Jyri-Sarha-audio_miniconf_slides.pdf
Jan 08 23:28:20 <jebba> ah, testing this on f12 right now is going to be a PITA, i wont be able to get to it right now.
Jan 08 23:28:48 * jebba reading
Jan 08 23:30:05 <denkenz> Basically I suspect that the only reason oFono on native n900 works is that either PulseAudio or the native csd daemon detects the call
Jan 08 23:30:24 <denkenz> There's probably more involved in getting a 'pure' oFono based system going
Jan 08 23:30:25 <jebba> Ya, but when he's saying "Audio Features N900 Linux Phone"  what he's really saying is "...running Maemo".  It's not *tied* to pulseaudio, except under maemo they've done it that way. That said, it may be the way to do it under fedora or Mer or whatever too. But it's not a requirement, unless ofono itself requires it for some reason (which i doubt).
Jan 08 23:33:44 <denkenz> oFono still requires someone to do the audio processing, if it works automagically great
Jan 08 23:33:55 <jebba> denkenz: how would you pass an incoming call to the N900 to asterisk though?
Jan 08 23:34:24 <denkenz> oFono signals calls via D-Bus
Jan 09 02:21:42 <tmzt> den: and should that really be in the gui application? I really need it to work even if X fails
