We are trying to build a SIP client on the BB. We get from the documentation that amr is supported but there are several things that we can’t figure out from the doc itself, because either is not clear or because the names they use are not the same ones used on the telephony world among other things:
1- From this link http://download.oracle.com/javame/config/cldc/opt-pkgs/api/mm/jsr135/javax/microedition/media/Manage... we get these explanations, but we do not know if “rate” means “sampling rate” or “bitrate”, if we should use signed or unsigned (I would expect unsigned with 8 bits). Also amr is not described here:
Describing the audio encodings:
audio_encodings = audio_enc_param *( "&" audio_param )
audio_enc_param = "encoding=" audio_enc
audio_enc = "pcm" / "ulaw" / "gsm" / content_type
audio_param = "rate=" rate /
"bits=" bits /
"channels=" channels /
"endian=" endian /
"signed=" signed /
"type=" audio_type
rate = "96000" / "48000" / "44100" /
"22050" / "16000" / "11025" /
"8000" / other_rate
other_rate = pos_integer
bits = "8" / "16" / "24" / other_bits
other_bits = pos_integer
channels = pos_integer
endian = "little" / "big"
signed = "signed" / "unsigned"
audio_type = bitrate_variable / other_type
other_type = alphanumeric
pos_integer = 1*DIGIT
and
content type is given in the MIME syntax.
Example: encoding=pcm&rate=11025&bits=16&channels=1
2- When the player or microphone object gets the voice packets and put them on the buffer or stream object, if there any mini-header to strip before the actual payload (actual voice packets)?
If so, is it only the first packet with that header to strip? -> 0x23, 0x21, 0x41, 0x4d, 0x52, 0x0a
3- Is this amr encoding narrow-band, wide-band?
4- Also since amr has several modes, can we set the mode or at least which modes are supported and how to set them?
5- We assume that we should use 8000 sampling rate, big endian, 8 bits only to represent the sample size but about the mode, bitrate etc?
We expect to send 31 bytes at a time, every 20 ms, for amr mode 7 (12.2 kbps). Please if somebody has gone through all this hurdle and can enlighten us we would really appreciate it.
Txs a lot
