  https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2874

This means that all of the functionality developed in diverse Asterisk repositories (among which mine) is now available again from the standard OpenWRT source repository in the latest Asterisk release 1.4.16 (once the patch is actually applied...). And actually some more because now non-uhci-usb routers can also run ztdummy thus app_meetme.

Hi Zandbelt,

Found this flite, festival lite verion from Kamikaze repository. Installed it on my USB key, occupied about 11MB. Tested with text string, it was able to create sound file in wave format.
Would you please help to add in and publish the app_flite module on your repository?

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

I had not seen this app before, but it looks very promising for this type of hardware: I added it to the repository, together with a rebuilt flite package (includes default .so links and compilation without 16bit vox).

Hans.

Unbelievable! Thank you!

I was expecting openwrt developer might recompile it with 8k sample rate, removing that 16k flag yesterday.

Tested the 8k flite, it works fine. The output wave file can be playback directly by *.

flite application seems have some problem, but I dont know what it was.
flite(some_words) just didn't work.
Asterisk debug message didn't help much, only line was parsing flite config file as below,
...
    -- Executing [220@internal:1] Ringing("SIP/PAP101-00629848", "") in new stack
    -- Executing [220@internal:2] Answer("SIP/PAP101-00629848", "") in new stack
    -- Executing [220@internal:3] Flite("SIP/PAP101-00629848", "girl") in new stack
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/flite.conf': Found

And it stops there forever, no sound produced.

Zero byte temp file created under /tmp without .wav extension.

-rw-------    1 root     root            0 Dec 27 17:49 flite_buf_65PXge

From source app_flite.c, it was appending .wav extension name. But under /tmp/flite_buf_*, the wav extension was missing from file names.
...
    sprintf(filename, "/tmp/flite_buf_XXXXXX");
    mkstemp(filename);
    strcpy(wavFilename, filename);
    strcat(wavFilename, ".wav");
    /* Invoke Flite */
    flite_init();
    v = register_cmu_us_kal();
    flite_text_to_speech((char *) data, v, wavFilename);

    if (chan->_state != AST_STATE_UP)
    {
        /* Answer the channel if it is down */
        ast_answer(chan);
    }
...

I guess flite_init probably was fine since it was parsing config file.
But somewhere inside flite_text_to_speech, something got wrong. Since the temp file got created, so I guess it passed the point ergister_cmu_us_kal.

If I remove the Answer before flite() in extension.ael setup, the channel never got answered, so I think the function flite_text_to_speech was never return. Thus the ast_answer didn't work. So was the rest app_flite module and no sound stream into channel.

Not sure how to fix it, not much debug msg from flite to asterisk console.
The work around I can think of is, might be add app_mp3.so into asterisk package and create a dummy mpg123 script that calls flite to create wave file and stream to stdout. So something like MP3Player(some_words) would play the speech sound of "some_words".

One thought, the mknod in postinstall might not work after reboot since /dev is on tmpfs.

Might find a way to insert these lines into /etc/hotplug2-init.rules by postinstall, probably by sed. Before "DEVPATH is set {" line.

DEVICENAME ~~ (zappseudo) {
        nothrottle
        makedev /dev/zap/pseudo 0644
        next
}

Hi zandbelt,

Would you please help to kindly add in chan_oss?
I tried chan_alsa on 2.6 Kamikaze, got these error/warning. Was able to call/answer from console, but speaker could only produced some noise, no voice.

  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/alsa.conf': Found
[Dec 28 19:28:37] WARNING[1151]: chan_alsa.c:389 alsa_card_init: Rate not correct, requested 8000, got 24000

[Dec 28 19:28:37] WARNING[1151]: chan_alsa.c:389 alsa_card_init: Rate not correct, requested 8000, got 48000
  == Registered channel type 'Console' (ALSA Console Channel Driver)
chan_alsa.so => (ALSA Console Channel Driver)

CORRECTION, it was the USB audio chip, Tenx Technology, doesn't support 8K sample rate. Nothing wrong with chan_alsa.
CORRECTION AGAIN, set alsa.conf from hw:0,0 to plughw:0 for sample rate conversion. Got voice from speaker, but delayed for few seconds and voice is broken. Anyone has a working example for asterisk with chan_alsa and a USB sound card?

Thank you zandbelt!
After repeated tests, I confirmed chan_oss seems better than chan_alsa.
1. asterisk will have smaller footprint using oss module, 18.X MB compared to 22MB for alsa.
2. alsa causes abour 1 second delay for voice comes out from speaker.

flite release 3 is using 16k sample rate.

Hi zandbelt,

What are the chances you're willing to submit new patch(s) for 1.4.18 since these ones where never integrated into trunk?
I'm moving in a couple weeks and would really like to get Asterisk working on my WGT634U so that I can order dry-loop DSL and not have to bother with ordering a PSTN line.

I'd run with 1.4.11 that's in trunk right now, but I'm getting this error in Ubuntu 7.10 and can't seem to fix it:

Huge thanks to Hans for compiling 1.4.18
Packages for Kamikaze 7.09 can be found here: http://members.home.nl/hans.zandbelt/op … kaze/7.09/

I updated to latest ver. 1.4.18 (Kamikaze 7.09 - Asus WL-500gP).
root:#ipkg list_installed  asterisk14\*
asterisk14 - 1.4.18-1 -

Hello,
You can find the Libtool code here OR other branches too

Be carefull while installing because the code is not good and do some mv (MOVE) in the last and you have to copy those files back..
Here is the error after installing the Libtool..Can anyone pls tell how to fix this Libtool code

I am using your patches.

The second issue i see is the CODEC_GSM.SO is missing... don't know why
i see the code but mis SO file

Please help
Thanks
baba2s

baba2s, killab: I don't think compiling using a pre-compiled toolchain is supported anymore; please use:

  svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/tags/kamikaze_7.09

for obtaining a build environment.

nik247: I'll update asterisk-addons (apparently required after upgrading asterisk core)

Hans.

Hi Hans,
BIG thanks you.
I'll wait new files.

(Last edited by nik247 on 5 Mar 2008, 23:35)

Thanks hans.

I compiled  the build environment using
https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/

quick question, after Asterisk 1.4.16 compilation , i don't see codec GSM  (codec_gsm.so is missing).
Can you please tell me how to get it .. not sure if its an bug in code.

Thanks
baba2s

If you look closely you will see that libtool is not included in the kamikaze_7.09 package repo, nor the extra package repo, it only exists in trunk.
That's why my build failed....I was trying to use a fresh 7.09 checkout.

I think a ticket will need to be raised to have it added into the 7.09 branch.

when the 1.4.11 patch was applied, the option to compile without-gsm was added, I don't know why
but I did not notice when I posted the 1.4.16 patch

you can correct this yourself by changing "--without-gsm" to "--with-gsm" in the
CONFIGURE_ARGS variable in the Makefile

the next patch for Asterisk 1.4.18-2 or 1.4.19 will include that

Hans.

Thanks Hans for quick reply

See ticket #3196 for an all-in-one-patch: asterisk 1.4.18, asterisk-addons-1.4.6 and zaptel-1.4.9.2

Example build process:

  download: https://dev.openwrt.org/attachment/tick … format=raw
  as [patchfile]

  svn checkout https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/tags/kamikaze_7.09/ mipsel
  cd mipsel
  svn checkout https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages/ feeds/packages/
  patch -d feeds/packages -p1 < [patchfile]
  cd package
  ln -sf ../feeds/packages/*/*/ .
  cd ..
  make menuconfig
  make

Hans.

PS: I did see a gnutls build problem on one machine with an existing libgcrypt installation; had to temporarily move /usr/lib/libgrypt.so to something else

Thanks Hans, i will try building it

Any idea as to what happened to the kmod-zaptel14 module compiled for 2.6?  It seems to have disappeared off of http://members.home.nl/hans.zandbelt/op … kaze/7.09/

re-added

Many thanks Hans! I successfully downloaded/patched to asterisk-1.4.18 using this patch -d feeds/packages -p0 < [patchfile]; however, the compilation spitted out error messages on zaptel as shown below:

The host, my OpenSuSE v10.3, doesn't run asterisk nor zaptel. So, it doesn't have zaptel installed, less the libtonezone. I don't suppose this is the cause of the above error messages, right?

no, the build should be at least self-contained (although _conflicts_ with host files can occur if the build process is not  prepared to deal with that)

apparently you selected app_meetme, which requires libtonezone; it looks like the zaptel-libtonezone package was not installed, although it should be selected automatically as a build dependency; can you check whether that is the problem (on my clean checkout it works ok, it selects the zaptel-libtonezone library automatically)

Hans.
