Hello,
About the two different ways to send digit sounds:
- with voice over ip, the recommended way is to use RFC2833: digits sounds are
specified by their number in special RTP packets. This saves bandwidth and
makes encoding/decoding much easier and reliable.
- with analog telephony digits sounds are transmitted through the line as you
hear them: a sum of two sines with normalized frequencies. This way is not
recommended with voice over ip, because most voice over ip codec aren't able
to reliabily encode and decode such tones (there are designed for voice, not
for synthetic sounds).
However in order to provide to the user analog-like feeling, when you press a
digit on linphone, you hear the tone, but the sound is not transmitted to the
remote phone, only the RFC2833 information, which makes the remote phone to
eventually generate the corresponding tone to the sound card (which linphone
does).
